Jaime Grunfeld, LMHC, LPC

Jaime Grunfeld is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people regain emotional balance. He brings 17 years of clinical experience and meets people in plain talk to sort out what feels overwhelming. Jaime works in English, Spanish, and Portuguese and practices in New York. He primarily uses psychodynamic ideas alongside solution-focused work. In sessions he helps people notice patterns from their past and also sets small, concrete goals to change how they feel day to day. This mix aims to address both deeper causes and immediate problems. Jaime commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions such as midlife crisis. He also helps with relationship concerns, issues tied to family of origin, career strain, grief, and struggles with self-esteem. He listens for where emotions and behavior intersect and helps people find practical next steps. People also come to him for challenges like addiction, mood disorders, feelings of emptiness, parenting strains, and questions about sexuality or identity. He frames hard experiences in simple terms and focuses on clear, achievable actions alongside understanding deeper feelings. To start, Jaime asks prospective clients to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. That helps match goals and schedule a first appointment that fits the person’s needs and timing.

Psychodynamic and Solution-Focused Care Online

Psychodynamic work looks at how past relationships and repeated emotional patterns shape current feelings. It helps people understand why they react a certain way and can be useful for issues like ongoing anxiety, relationship patterns, emptiness, or struggles tied to family of origin.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on concrete, short-term goals and small changes people can try between sessions. It is practical for addressing stress, work or career questions, sleep or coping strategies, and for moving through a midlife transition with clear next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then tailor sessions in collaboration with the client. That way deeper exploration and practical actions can be balanced according to need.
