Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy in Midtown Manhattan
Deep Healing Through Focused, Individualized Psychiatric Care with Dr. David Lifschutz, MD
If you're seeking a faster, deeper way to address emotional suffering—especially when traditional therapy hasn’t worked—Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) may be the breakthrough you've been looking for. In Midtown Manhattan, Dr. David Lifschutz, MD offers this powerful therapeutic method as part of his boutique-style psychiatric practice, designed for patients who are ready for focused, transformational mental health care.
What Is Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP)?
ISTDP is an evidence-based, emotion-focused approach to psychotherapy that works to uncover and resolve unconscious emotional barriers that fuel depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship difficulties. The goal is to quickly get to the root cause of emotional pain—not just manage symptoms.
This is not traditional, once-a-week talk therapy. ISTDP is active, intensive, and emotionally engaged, often unlocking deep psychological insight within the first few sessions. It helps patients recognize and release repressed feelings, dismantle internal defenses, and develop greater emotional freedom.

Dr. David Lifschutz, MD is a board-certified psychiatrist with over 20 years of specialized experience in advanced psychotherapy and functional psychiatric care. His boutique-style approach means every aspect of your care is meticulously tailored to your needs—there are no generic treatment plans here.
Depending on the patient’s goals and emotional readiness, sessions can last:
One hour for focused work and integration
Several hours for deeper breakthrough sessions when clinically appropriate
