Lois Nachamie

It was Ms. Nachamie's supreme honor, priviledge and joy to be a part of so many people's intimate lives.  Hopefully, she helped them.  Their presence enriched her life enormously, and she will miss caring for others.  One of the best parts of being a therapist is, if you're good at it!, you set aside all your own crap and are in complete service of others.  Being able to sit for hours free from your own mishegos is liberting.  She will miss being her better self on a regular basis.  There is no way she can possiboy thank all the lovely people who were kind enough to confide in her and trust her.  She sincerely hopes that trust was warranted.

Ms. Nachamie is newly reired and at the moment doesn't have the heart to edit all this verbiage below!  

So it stays as is for now!  Fill in the past tense if you'd like.

Ms. Nachamie provides individual psychotherapy and couple's counseling for a wide range of issues including interpersonal and work-related concerns, life transitions, anxiety and depression.

Ms. Nachamie has extensive experience treating those who are exceptionally successful in their professional lives, including media, the arts, finance and business, with facial and/or name recognition. She helps her clients successfully navigate the particular set of conflicts and stresses of lives in the public eye.  She also has the priviledge of helping those struggling to make ends meet, and those in the middle.

In addition to her professional training, Ms. Nachamie holds an MFA in Writing from Columbia University, which proves invaluable in understanding the creative process.

To maintain the privacy of all of her clients and to keep the contract for personal growth a mutual agreement between the client and Ms. Nachamie, she does not participate in insurance panels. If a client has a policy with out-of-network benefits, and chooses to submit, most companies will reimburse. She also offers a sliding scale.

Ms. Nachamie’s working style is interactive. Regardless of their marital or parental status, or sexual orientation, most of Ms. Nachamie’s clients experience a positive change in their lives due to therapy.

Ms. Nachamie is certified by the Art of Dying Institute in End of Life Counseling. This has given her tools to address the next developmental stage of life: death. She has begun helping her clients face their own mortality, the mortality of their parents, and how to handle death if they are still parenting young children.
