Individual Therapy

The Work

Individual therapy with Dr. Herwitz is a place to do real work — the kind that produces lasting change in how you think, feel, and relate.

Her approach is direct, accountable, and grounded in two decades of practice and training in psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, schema, and trauma-focused therapies, as well as The Tools® — a methodology developed by Phil Stutz that places accountability and action at the center of change. She integrates these frameworks with precision.

Who Seeks Individual Therapy Here

Dr. Herwitz works with accomplished adults — leaders in business, law, finance, medicine, and the arts — who are navigating significant difficulty and want more than a sympathetic ear. Her clients are typically high-functioning people confronting something their external competence has not been able to solve.

They come for a range of reasons:

• Anxiety in its many forms — persistent worry, difficulty switching off, and panic

• Mood disorders, including depression, dysthymia, and bipolar disorder

• Recurring relational patterns — with a partner, family members, or colleagues — that persist across contexts

• Sexual concerns: desire discrepancy, difficulty relaxing into pleasure, out-of-control sexual behaviors, problems with orgasm or erection, and pain during sex

• Major life transitions — work, divorce, marriage, empty nest, and loss

• The private sense of living out of alignment with who one actually is

The Approach

Dr. Herwitz’s clinical foundation spans psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral frameworks, schema and trauma-focused therapies, and two decades of intensive study with Phil Stutz, co-creator of The Tools® — a methodology that places accountability and action at the center of therapeutic change. Her work reflects the conviction that insight without change is passivity, and change without insight is impulsivity. Both are required.

She asks pointed questions. She challenges the narratives her clients carry about themselves and about what is possible. She holds her clients to a high standard because the clinical evidence — and her experience — indicates they are capable of meeting it.
