DrTranquility. Talks with Dr.Laurie Nadel of laurienadel.com

Dr. Laurie Nadel specializes in helping people who are struggling with fears that prevent them from moving forward.  Whether fear presents as performance anxiety that makes it impossible to speak in public or to function in daily settings, a debilitating phobia, or flashbacks to a traumatic, life-shattering event, Dr. Nadel's practice is focused on providing support, insight, and effective interventions that give the patient strategies and tools to overcome those fears relatively quickly, so that they can be replaced by calm, confidence, and a sense of well-being. 

Her mission is to offer short-term, goal-oriented, patient-focused therapy with personal attention and quality care.  For those who have tried traditional psychotherapy, Dr. Nadel offers a new, caring approach to resolving internal conflicts and issues that have not responded well to previous treatments.  A therapeutic relationship needs to be a safe place to express concerns that are so deeply held that the individual may even have difficulty using verbal description to describe his or her situation.  The unconscious mind reveals itself through subtle muscle movements, pulses, and changes in breathing.  A specialist in the physiology of non-verbal communication, Dr. Nadel knows how to sit with the patient's Unconscious (or subconscious) mind in a reassuring way to create a profound rapport that facilitates the unburdening process.

In private practice since 1991, she works collaboratively with psychiatrists, M.D.'s, and psychologists to create a supportive team for each patient.  She accepts referrals from M.D.'s, nurse practitioners, psychiatrists, psychologists, and attorneys who are seeking professional help for their patients and clients.  Dr. Nadel has been an expert witness in a PTSD case in the U.S. Disctrict Court for the Southern District of New York.
