Alan Oxman

I am a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. In addition to working with individuals and couples in my private practice, I also lead interpersonal process groups. I graduated with a Master’s in Social Work from NYU and a Doctorate in Social Work from Rutgers University (where I currently teach courses on behavioral addictions). I am a graduate of the Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society and run process groups for psychiatry residents at Mt. Sinai Hospital in NYC.

In my psychotherapy practice, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore painful and troubling feelings, identify goals, and develop strategies for coping with difficult emotions and circumstances. I believe that the awareness and insight that can be developed through therapy allows people to be better connected to themselves, more engaged in their relationships, and more present in the world around them. I take an active role in therapy sessions and work with my clients in ways that challenge them to achieve their personal goals.

I have worked with individuals and couples struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, and stress. In addition, I help people with difficult childhood and family experiences including trauma, domestic violence, relationship issues, and transitions who are searching for emotional connection with others as well as a strong sense of self.

My therapeutic style is supportive and interactive; working collaboratively, I tailor the treatment to each unique individual. My approach is informed by my training in psychoanalysis and cognitive behavioral theories (CBT). For more information please visit: www.dralanoxman.com.
