 
This is a good time for psychotherapy and coaching. Psychology’s understanding of how the mind, body, thoughts and emotions work has dramatically increased over time. Through continuing research we have been determining what past and present therapeutic techniques work best, as well as creating new methods. Neuropsychology, behavioral psychology and experimental psychology are all contributing ideas as to how we can go beyond our habitual repetition of thoughts and behaviors to better address our challenges and find ways of being that allow more choice, more growth and more happiness. This is true for both our experience of ourselves and how we relate to others and the world.
Research into Practice
The new techniques that result from new research should inform any good practice. Both Todd and Annie are invested in developing new techniques and identifying and implementing recent techniques others have developed. As a Research Scientist at NYU Todd has been involved in research on new treatments for anxiety and depression.  In his own practice and research Todd continues to develop new techniques involving music and experiential techniques as well as furthering concepts and practices of “parts work” that has been pioneered by other therapists such as Fritz and Laura Perls and Richard Schwartz.  As a Wellness Coordinator part of Annie Robinson, MS’s position at NYU is the development of new curricula for areas such as resilience and the integration of those curricula into wellness practice.  She has also conducted research on resilience.

“I have had the privilege of working with Annie over several years in programs and research centering on physician wellness. Working with obstetricians in training, she creates spaces for reflection that are usually absent from their lives. She is a talented creator and leader of reflective writing seminars. As an educator and colleague, I have found Annie to be dedicated, compassionate and insightful. Our working sessions are often therapeutic for me! We have worked on research into the factors related to resilience among physicians, and her talents as an investigator further diversify the talents of this special person. You are in good hands with Annie in finding and nurturing sources of wellness in your lives.”
