Mr Michael Z Jody

Psychoanalyst

“Psychotherapy and couples counseling with humor and compassion. I use a combination of techniques and modalities for maximum effect. Therapy can be short term (as little as a single session) or long term (several sessions or even longer).”

About Me

I offer psychotherapy and couples Counseling, providing a compassionate space where humour can also find its place. We can explore your concerns together, drawing on a combination of techniques tailored for your unique needs. Sessions can be brief, even a single meeting for immediate insight, or extend over time for deeper work. This flexible approach suits clients ready to navigate challenges with both insight and warmth.

Approach

Humor and steady curiosity shape how I approach each session: I listen closely, name patterns, and invite gentle experimentation. In East Hampton or through secure online sessions in English, the room feels paced to your needs—sometimes brisk and problem-focused, other times slow and exploratory. We alternate focused reflections on relationships, career and life-transition themes with deeper psychodynamic work, tracking shifts between sessions and using brief practices when helpful. This way of working often suits adults and couples seeking clear insight alongside emotional depth.
