Professional statement

Issue, Context, Solution.

Tom's clients are business professionals working through personal, family, or job stresses to find solutions. Tom helps his patients identify issues and develop strategies for change. With over 20 years of corporate experience from Wall Street to the NBA, Tom merges past work lessons with counseling insights to help professionals better manage stress, improve mood, and reach their goals.

In his work, Tom pinpoints stresses, dissects how they arose, and builds specific plans forward so individuals can feel more in control and empower change. He offers the insight necessary to help people understand their situation in new ways and guides people towards surpassing barriers.

Via Telehealth or at his office on 26th street and 5th Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, Tom helps individuals study the gap between goals and their achievement. Through a contextual discussion, he helps reveal what gets in the way and then designs strategies for dynamic change.
