Dr Max Craig Kusovitsky

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist

“Psychoanalyst focused on stubborn symptoms, perception and your conscious experience itself. Treatment focuses on the felt and unfelt, you and your real, actual person.”

About Me

I work with individuals grappling with stubborn symptoms, inviting a deep exploration of their conscious experience and perception. We delve into both what is felt and what remains unspoken, fostering a profound understanding of your real, actual self. This approach suits those ready to truly comprehend persistent issues and seek lasting change, beyond just symptom management. Sessions offer a dedicated space for authentic self-discovery and growth.

Approach

Persistent symptoms prompt attention to how you notice, narrate and bodily hold experience; I follow small shifts in awareness that loosen stuck patterns. In my New York office and via secure online sessions in English, the pace is deliberate—space for silence, room for unexpected feeling. We trace associations, the links between feeling and action, and the threads that run between sessions, attending to meanings that surface and those kept out of sight. People contending with entrenched patterns often find steadier ground in this work.
