Name of Therapist:
Sarah Curtis, Ph.D.
My diverse practice reflects and serves the needs of my neighborhood. My style of practice is interpersonal/humanistic meaning that I try to take an open minded approach to psychotherapy. The work is an exploration of the nature of relationships and sources of anxiety leading to an understanding of moment-to-moment experience of self and others. This understanding may lead to meaningful change and to the emergence of choices which were not previously considered. I am respectful of individual needs and differences and consider social & cultural influences.

A graduate of the New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, I have had over 20 years of experience as a psychologist in private practice. In addition, I have had numerous, and varied, institutional affiliation, where I have provided services to people of diverse backgrounds, across the lifespan, from childhood to seniority. At teaching hospitals such as Mount Sinai and Brookdale, I had a wide range of responsibilities including diagnostic evaluation and psychotherapy. At the latter hospital, I supervised psychiatric residents and psychology interns in psychotherapy. I have also had extensive experience in a hospital-based school setting as part of a clinical team that provided services for children with special needs.
Currently, I am exclusively engaged in individual therapy, with adults, where I strive to be an attentive listener, and active participant, who meets each prospective patient with a minimum of preconceptions.

Talk is essential to psychotherapy. But some experience, especially trauma, is beyond words. As a relational psychoanalyst, I see the organic, dynamic, human relationship at the core of any psychotherapy process. As an EMDR trauma therapist, I also highly value structured approaches that reach beyond words. I offer an integrative practice specializing in complex relational trauma.
