Gary Katz LCSW,

I am the founder of The Center for Intimacy Recovery in New York which focuses primarily on intimacy and relationships. What I have found is that without a sense of intimacy with oneself, people can’t fully experience intimacy with someone else. Our hearts are fragile so we develop strategies to avoid getting hurt again. Often these strategies later become maladaptive where they stop serving us. They hold us back from achieving the connection and intimacy we are actually seeking. The Center for Intimacy Recovery helps clients to find ways to have the intimacy and connection in life that they are seeking. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy helps clients develop a more intimate relationship with themselves and what they are feeling by cutting through the stories and getting in touch with what is being experienced through the body.
