• In his private practice in New York City, Don works with clients who have been in "talk therapy" for many years and are seeking complementary ways to understand the issues that are blocks to feeling happy and fully alive. His work blends traditional "talk therapy" with modalities like Gestalt therapy, Jungian dream analysis, guided visualization, and meditation instruction.
  
  
• Don sees many clients with business careers who want to resolve interpersonal issues that arise in the workplace, are seeking more fulfillment in their careers, and would like to focus on ways to remove roadblocks to success.
  
  
• He works with individuals preparing for surgery and their families who want to support them. Research shows that people who actively get involved with their own preparation fare much better during and after surgery. Don's techniques help people feel more relaxed and confident about their upcoming procedure.
