Gavriel Reisner

Dr. Gavriel Reisner, a licensed psychoanalyst with a PhD and an MA, expertly blends classical and contemporary analysis to assist individuals facing challenges related to depression, emotional disturbance, and relationship issues. He initiates the therapeutic journey with a consultation aimed at establishing a meaningful connection right from the start. Dr. Reisner emphasizes the importance of listening, advocating that effective dialogue encompasses both spoken words and the silence in between, which carry their own meanings. Through collaborative discourse, he guides his clients toward healthier relationships and improved functioning, making space for their narratives to unfold over time. He believes that when fear, shame, or confusion render stories unspoken, a compassionate listening presence is vital for self-understanding. Ultimately, his approach centers on narrative self-discovery, helping clients learn their authentic stories. Prior to his role as an analyst, Dr. Reisner was a professor and an English teacher, and he retains a deep passion for writing about literature and psychoanalysis. His experiences as a father and husband further enrich his understanding of the interconnectedness of personal narratives, guiding individuals on the path to their true selves.
