About Dr. Auerbach

While I work with clients on all types of typical issues (such as anxiety, life and work stress, etc.), I specialize in all things having to do with relationships. I am the author of the book "Irritating the Ones You Love-the Down and Dirty Guide to Better Relationships." I’ve helped thousands of couples resolve conflicts and improve the happiness and quality of their relationships. For those who are still looking for the love of their lives, I offer unique tools for helping people successfully navigate the dating process and find lasting love.

One of the nicest things that I can hear from new clients is, “I wish I had met you earlier in my therapy career!” I believe they feel this way because of the realistic, straightforward, and problem-solving style that I utilized from the very first contact. This typically offers them tools to understand long-standing patterns in their relationships differently and sheds new light on potential solutions.

Treatment philosophy

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my years of experience, it is that relationships are complicated! I’ve learned there are no clear yes or no answers, and that there are many different types of relationships that work, and often in ways that are very different from one another. I work with my clients on a genuine, individual basis, and pride myself on centering entirely on their personal life wishes and goals. This then provides a clear, concrete blueprint for the therapy going forward, based on that client’s individual needs.

Clients often tell me they find my approach unique and refreshing because I use a modern, straightforward style. They tell me they like that there's a give and take dialogue, and that they get clear and realistic feedback. I try to combine kindness and understanding with solid, practical information and guidance.
