Introduction: I have found the way into men's hearts and minds, making my work with couples magically transformative. Therapists who do not address the issue of how both men and women treat themselves, lovingly or unlovingly, or the love they failed to receive during their childhood and adolescences leave out the most important part of helping clients heal. My theory of love, published in Love Decoded, has now been taught at most major psychotherapy conferences and has been scientifically validated by the 8-year long research of Barbara Fredrickson, PhD at the University of North Carolina. What I teach not only helps people with depression, anxiety, stress but heals or enriches almost every relationship they are in - with parents, children, spouse, romantic relationships, friendships, colleagues, etc. I love to see the light go on when people discover that they are in fact lovable and that loving oneself is common sense - not a selfish act. How to love oneself and others in a way that does not make others feel that you are self-centered. This is then integrated into a communication protocol that makes people handle problems and issues in such a loving way as to not only resolve the issues but bring them ever closer. Because I don't believe 90% of my clients have mental illnesses, I do not take insurance, which requires therapists to designate a specific mental illness in order to justify payments. Instead I give my client 1 1/2 hour session - instead of 50 minutes.

I have been seeing Stefan for 3 years now, and I can honestly say it was the best decision I ever made. He assuages any fears that one might have with going to therapy, or from what they might fear from traditional therapy. When I first came, I was an unhappy person, not liking myself very much and projecting that feeling to everyone around me. I blamed everyone else for my problems, while thinking I truly had a handle on things...as things around me were just getting worse. Learning to not only unconditionally love others,but to unconditionally love myself has made me a better father, a better friend, better in business, and an all around better person. I completely recommend seeing him to anyone who wants to learn how to love themselves more.

I highly recommend working with Stefan Deutsch. Fortunately for me, I met him at a most critical time of my life. I was full of stress, anxiety, and had depressive episodes. I tried other therapies, but they only helped a little. The essence of his work is understanding the science behind loving behaviors and how to give it and get it unconditionally - as it is as vital to life as are air, food and water. I knew that, however, no one explained how to use this idea before. I have worked with Stefan on and off for about 4 years. During that time, I learned to love myself and communicate better with others. I also learned what is loving and unloving behavior and to recognize them in unhealthy relationships in order to take care of myself. His tools for coping with pain have helped me "tame the hurtful dragon" within me. I had many blind spots in my private and professional life as a successful entrepreneur, and never realized them. However, the hours I spent with Stefan helped transform me into a person capable of loving myself and attracting more positive people into my life. It was breaking my old negative patterns both with my company and my relationships by staying out of the past. Now I understand how to make myself happier and be more involved in a positive, enriching life. I found Stefan's work is more productive and transformational because it is more about feelings and less about thinking and being in my head. I highly recommend anyone to work with Stefan if you want to gain awareness of oneself and attain and maintain a happy, balanced life. Nancy Entrepreneur, Long Island

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My standard session are based on what research has shown and that is that - 45-50 minute session are not sufficient to accomplish major breakthroughs people need. Therefore I use 1 hour and 30 minutes for each session - while only charging the going rates for individuals and couples - $150 and $175. The longer session result in having people achieve results in half the time.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Establish what the main issues are and the goal of the therapy.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am an expert in human development, which I believe is more important to help people resolve their issues than psychology. I am a NYS certified Gestalt Psychotherapist, studied at the NYU graduate school Movement therapy, and Imago Couples Therapy for advanced communication skills. I am part of handful of original thinkers who has added to the knowledge of human development and introduced a new theory of love that helps people with their self-esteem, self-worth, self-support, self-care and self-love. I travel world-wide teaching at major conferences couples therapy and my theory of development and love.
