About
Dr. Friedman earned his doctorate in Psychology from New York University and received post-doctoral training in Psychoanalysis from the Training and Research Institute for Self Psychology (TRISP) in New York City. He worked as an eating disorders psychotherapist at the esteemed Renfrew Center of New York and was appointed to faculty of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. For more than 10 years he has worked as a psychologist with adults, couples and families.
As his practice evolved, it became clear to Dr. Friedman that something was missing from traditional psychotherapeutic approaches. Curiosity and a chance meeting led him to discover the world of Nutritional Psychology, which teaches that many psychological issues are caused or made worse by underlying biochemical/ nutritional deficiencies. Further exploration led him to the practice of yoga, with its emphasis on breathing, meditation and movement for emotional centering.
To enhance his effectiveness in helping a patient to heal and grow, he became certified as a Holistic Health Counselor at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York and went on to earn a Diploma of Comprehensive Nutrition (Dip.CN) from Huntington College of Health Sciences. He become interested in Neurofeedback, and became certified as a Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS) practitioner, and trained with Siegfried and Sue Othmer in InfraLow and Alpha-Theta Neurofeedback.
In pursuit of the most up to date information taught by Functional Medicine for Mental Health, Dr. Friedman enrolled in the Certificate Program at the Academy of Functional Medicine and Genomics, which teaches tools for assessing the root biochemical causes of mental health disorders, and later went on to become a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner.
Additionally, he is also a yoga teacher, having completed the 200 hour training program at Yoga Now in Omaha, Nebraska.
Dr. Friedman’s practice now offers integrative psychotherapy services which combine the healing power of insight oriented psychotherapy with and education about lifestyle and nutritional tools that have shown scientific efficacy in improving mental health symptoms.
