Ask the Therapist

I write The New York Times “Ask the Therapist” column, where I tackle readers’ dilemmas, big and small, by sharing a therapist’s perspective on how to more easily navigate the vast variety of issues we all encounter in our daily lives. I spent six years writing the “Dear Therapist” column for The Atlantic, and before this, I answered reader questions in a weekly advice column for New York Magazine’s The Cut. I love hearing from readers all over the world who submit their questions and remind me (and you) how essentially similar we all are. 

A few of my readers’ favorite columns are the ones about attractiveness and self-worth,  spouses who threaten divorce when they argue, and unconscious processes in choosing a partner.
