"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom."

Todd and Donna Germain are the founders of The Germain Therapy Group, a psychotherapy practice dedicated to creating therapeutic relationships in which safeness and challenge coexist to promote lasting change.  We want every child, parent, adult, young adult or teen to know that we don't treat diagnoses, we treat people. Each person's therapy looks different because no single approach or manual could come close to addressing the complexity and uniqueness of any one person. Our sessions unfold and are responsive to our patient's specific needs. 

The Germain Therapy Group is the only psychotherapy practice in New York City that features dually diagnosed therapists who each have their LCSW plus either degrees in occupational therapy or speech-language pathology. We are the only psychotherapists who are qualified to provide this integrated, developmental lens to understand patterns of thought, feeling and behavior across the life span. Your therapy experience will include traditional psychotherapeutic techniques through our unique lens, but will also be informded by somatic modalities, and neuro-bio-sensory approaches to help you feel grounded and engaged in your life. Verbal and non-verbal creative strategies are available for patients because we understand that traditional talk therapy is not for everyone.

Now more than ever people are seeking to be understood, to experience empathy and compassion. We will help you engage with your emotions at a comfortable, and also challenging, depth and pace.
