Stan Hyman, PhD, LCSW

I am a licensed psychotherapist, Clinical Sexologist and life coach practicing in Miami, Florida. I originally practiced in New York City.

I work with couples (including business partners) helping them to change ineffective patterns of behavior, improve communication and create solutions. This often means learning how to create new patterns that bring about change, better understanding and respect between partners.

I also work with individuals (both male and female) including professionals, entrepreneurs, students and athletes helping them to enhance their performance and create more balance and harmony in their lives.

I specialize in the treatment of breaches of trust (affairs in particular) anxiety, depression, substance abuse and stress related problems, including impulse control issues and compulsive behavior. I work quickly to reduce the symptoms of distress or panic.

I am also a Board Certified Clinical Sexologist with an extensive knowledge of human sexuality. I help my clients resolve their sexual problems whether they stem from medical or interpersonal origins.

My style is focused and collaborative, helping clients balance their high stress lives and high performance expectations with the needs of family, friends and self.

I started my career as a teacher and spent a number of years working with kids of all ages. From teaching I entered the corporate world, working with large companies and learning their methods of operation.

I then became an entrepreneur and began building my own businesses. I created and grew three companies over a 20-year period and learned firsthand what it takes to deal with the enormous stress of maintaining high performance, good leadership and being your own boss.

After several years of self-exploration in psychotherapy, I realized how my own experiences could guide me in helping others. I became a psychotherapist and life coach while continuing my interest in the business community.

I was trained at Yeshiva University Graduate School in New York City, and did my internship at the Greenwich Institute for psychodynamic psychotherapy located in Greenwich Village in New York City and the New York State Psychiatric Institute, located in Washington Heights.

• Post graduate institute training in individual and marital therapy at the Institute for Marriage and Family Therapy (Jewish Board of Family and Children Services in New York City)
