Getting to know Aaron Purow

Hi there, I'm Aaron Purow, and I'm so glad you're here. If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating big life changes, or struggling with emotional challenges that affect your personal or professional life, I want you to know that you don't have to face it alone. As a psychotherapist, I work with individuals and couples through supportive consultations designed to create a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, valued, and supported. I earned my Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Yeshiva University's Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology and hold a Marriage and Family Therapy Limited Permit (MFT-LP) license. I'm deeply passionate about helping people find clarity, build resilience, and create positive change. My approach is thoughtful, empathetic, and tailored to your unique needs. Whether you're working through anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions, we'll create a path forward together. Therapy with me is a partnership. I'm here to offer you steady guidance, compassionate understanding, and practical tools to help you shift your perspective and overcome obstacles. I'm dedicated to building a meaningful connection with you-one where you feel seen, safe, and supported every step of the way. If you're ready to prioritize your well-being and take that brave first step, I'm here to walk beside you.

What should a new client know about working with you?

New clients working with me can expect a compassionate and collaborative environment tailored to their unique needs. My approach combines empathy and evidence-based techniques to help clients feel supported and understood. I prioritize creating a safe space where individuals and couples can explore challenges, build resilience, and work toward their goals. Whether addressing relationship struggles, anxiety, grief, or personal growth, I focus on fostering a strong therapeutic relationship to promote healing and self-awareness. My goal is to help clients gain insight and develop tools to navigate life's challenges with confidence and clarity.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

All sessions I offer are conducted remotely, providing flexibility and convenience for clients. My process focuses on creating a supportive space where clients feel comfortable processing their emotions while also setting and working toward concrete goals. During our sessions, we explore the challenges you're facing and identify underlying patterns that may impact your well-being. Together, we balance deep emotional work with practical strategies to promote growth, resilience, and lasting change. My goal is to empower clients to achieve meaningful progress in their lives and relationships.

Aaron adjusted my appointment to a later time . He was very patient throughout. He was very easy to talk to. I would highly recommend his services.
Verified patientVideo visit
therapist is nice person, however the (minimal) sessions that I had with him didn't have any impact and felt more awkward than anything else. For example, at times he would simply look at you after you have finished speaking; The awkward moment lasts between 5-10 sec. Last session, he has yawned a couple of times, which made the session uncomfortable and looking like he was bored. If you are someone that can easily talk, then maybe he may perfect for you; If you can't open up easily, then more likely he isn't for you
