Irina Firstein, psychotherapist in New York City since 1986

Counseling and psychotherapy.

Hello and welcome to my website. I am a psychotherapist and have been in private practice in Manhattan for over 20 years. I have helped hundreds of people gain better control of their circumstances, emotions, thoughts and relationships. Having lived in New York City for most of my life, I understand the challenges life here presents in various areas of life, emotions, work, dating, marriage and family, various life transitions, finances. Maintaining clearity and peace of mind in the midst of all life's challenges can be quite difficult. With so many moving parts to our lives, it's hard to choose and maintain some level of serenity. I can help through therapy using classical and well as new techniques. My mission is to help reduce emotional pain through deep exploration of it's causes and origins and help people make the necessary adjustments and shifts in their thinking and coping to feel more in charge of their situation. I use very individualized approach to everyone, but my reputation is that of being fairly straight forward and honest in my assessments of what is going on with people.
