Office open as usual – Please plan ahead for subway and road closures
The office at 49 West 24th is secure, and appointments will be held as usual on Monday September 19th. As emergency operations continue following the explosion that occurred Saturday evening on West 23rd Street, vehicle, subway, and pedestrian traffic is restricted along 23rd Street and nearby portions of Sixth Avenue. The E, F, 1, and 2 trains are currently bypassing the 23rd and 28th St Stations. I would suggest taking the N/R train, which is stopping as usual at 23rd Street. There are no pedestrian restrictions to 24th Street via Fifth Avenue/Broadway near Madison Square Park. Please check for updates at nycnotify.nyc.gov

New post on ChelseaTherapy.com: Social Anxiety and Gay Men
Social anxiety is one of the most frequent concerns I encounter among gay men in my practice. It makes sense if you think about it.
