Most people choose to come to therapy for the simple reason that they want to feel better. One of the things that psychotherapy offers is the experience of getting to know yourself better while in the presence of someone else. In Dr. Rothman’s work with individuals, he is an active participant in the process. He asks questions with the goal of developing and enhancing coping strategies while exploring one’s emotions in greater depth and deepening one’s insights into one’s life and family dynamics.

Trained in a variety of methodologies and both short and long term psychotherapy, Dr. Rothman tailors his approach to work directly with an individual’s concerns in a nonjudgmental, confidential, and supportive environment.
