Will Swift, Psychotherapist

"Over the past five years, Dr. Swift has been a persistent force for good in keeping me together with my partner. We’ve been together 21 years and are committed to staying the course. An expert problem solver, Dr. Swift discerns the essence of any given issue, analyzes motivations (sometimes previously unknown to us), suggests reasonable, appropriate objectives for change, and imparts sound, practical guidance on how to achieve those objectives. He deftly cuts to the heart of any matter without wasting time. He doesn’t take sides – he’s on the side of the smooth functioning and longevity of the relationship. We now have monthly sessions to keep us on track – kind of a relationship maintenance program. Dr. Swift’s good humor and warmth make it a pleasure to meet in person or via Zoom. Even when the pressures of a long-term relationship and pervasive chronic illness can seem daunting, Dr. Swift keeps us on the path we want to travel. He’s been such welcome, wise company along the way."

"Having therapy with Will is one of the best decisions I ever made - I am so much happier, more self aware and resilient as a result. Early in therapy, I started to understand myself more fully and gained greater clarity about my direction and goals. He is a highly talented therapist and quickly discerns the core pattern or dynamic at play in any given issue and helps you identify how you want to move forward. He brings curiosity and collaboration to every sesssion and I felt I was continually learning and growing in therapy. He is also attuned, empathic and balanced in his approach. We worked on a wide range of issues and I felt a huge benefit across the board. I would highly recommend him for personal therapy - I’ve really never looked back."

"“I can’t even begin to describe how profoundly and positively Will Swift has impacted my life. My husband and I both saw Will individually and were both in his men’s group at different times. I can honestly say that at the end of both therapies, I have never felt more confident in my abilities and better about myself. I was finally able to leave a toxic work environment without fear or guilt. More recently, he helped me manage the death of my husband of 40 years. Will is flexible and has self-insight and sophisticated interpersonal skills. I like him and trust him a lot, and recommend him highly. ” — JOHN B., ACADEMIC RADIOLOGIST AT NYU (NOW RETIRED)"
