David Longmire is a practicioner of Gestalt Therapy, which if you want more information on, you should Google, but is basically a talk therapy system based on finding your key beliefs and transforming them to more healthy, productive, positive beliefs with the guidance of a therapist. David Longmire specializes in working with artists and a gay and lesbian population, but he takes clients of all stripes. He is a patient, warm, caring therapist. I would recommend Longmire’s style to anyone who needs to be gently challenged: Longmire will ask you questions and ask you to examine your beliefs and statements. Often the gentle prodding is enough to inspire most clients to begin to see different ways of interpreting, and thus responding to, situations. He is also very sensitive to the particular challenges of living in NYC and the silent pressures of beauty, success, fame, fortune, and high-end living this can exert on a soul. Part of the Gestalt Associates practice on E. 34th St., accepts many medical insurances, and sees clients on weekends if necessary.
