Matthew von UnwerthLicensed Psychoanalyst, PhD, LP, FIPA

About

Most mental suffering we endure (if not due to present grief and loss) arises either from our fervent attempts to resolve or answer uncomprehended emotional needs, or because we never learned to endure and adapt our unruly interior lives to the world around us. I help individuals to feel better by attending to all that they are in the moment, as a way of understanding how they have come to be themselves -- and how who they are is at odds with what they want to be and feel. I am trained both in "classical" and contemporary psychoanalysis (IPA member) and in Columbia's pioneering Program in Narrative Medicine, where I now teach.
