What do you attribute your success to?

• I am a psychologist with more than 40 years of experience. Philosophically, my clinical practice is based upon a bedrock of psychodynamic psychotherapy. In addition, I pride myself on incorporating the most recent contemporary scientific and therapeutic thinking. I am known for always going the extra mile to help patients, which I feel is an important component for providing excellent clinical care. I have been unusually fortunate with my education and in particular with mentors throughout my professional carreer who have dedicated themselves to guiding me. At this point I am the mentor to a new generation of psychologists.
