About Mr. EspinalDr. Inzinna and Mr. Espinal are forming a weekly therapy group for adolescent boys, ages 13 to 18. About the group
Men whose work and family are in order and whose anxiety never fully settles. Fathers who hear in their own voice the thing they swore they would never say to their children. Men in a separation who want to come through it in a way they can respect later.
Therapy for men and fathersA capable son who has stalled, and parents who can see what he could be and cannot get him to say what is wrong. Younger children, and adolescents of any gender, see Mr. Espinal.
Therapy for adolescentsPeople in their twenties who were expected to be further along by now, by their families or by themselves, and whose plans keep being interrupted by doubt or avoidance.
Therapy for young adultsAthletes in and out of season, and people whose work asks a great deal of them, among them founders, surgeons, traders, attorneys and musicians, who have begun to pay, at home or in the body, for the way they drive themselves.
Therapy for performanceDr. Inzinna and Mr. Espinal also see women and adults of any gender with the same concerns.
Dr. Inzinna and Mr. Espinal both work from Cognitive Behavioral Psychoanalysis (CBP), the integrative model Dr. Inzinna developed, which organizes treatment around four questions. What is the pattern, and what keeps it going? What happens when feeling outruns judgment? What was learned early about feeling, authority and closeness, often from a father, and how much of it is still running? And what is the work, the marriage or the household for, since that is the measure the rest is held to?
The questions are weighted differently for each person, and the answers are stated plainly enough to test. The approach
The first conversation is a free 15-minute phone call with Dr. Inzinna or Mr. Espinal. Sessions are held in person at our office on East 89th Street.
