Our Story

The Midtown Practice (TMP) is a professional psychotherapy and psychiatry practice in Midtown Manhattan, NYC. TMP was started by Drs. Dan Goodman and Julia Samton, two Ivy League-educated psychiatrists and long-time friends who came together to create a group practice of skilled clinicians offering a broad range of services to an expanded clientele.

Together, our group of psychotherapists and psychopharmacologists is committed to helping our clients live with greater fulfillment, vitality, and peace of mind. Curiosity, warmth, flexibility, compassion, and professionalism are essential personal characteristics of our clinicians.

Our team is particularly committed to staying abreast of the latest research and clinical techniques, continually working on improving our skills and expertise to ensure our clients receive the best and most effective care.

Our Unique Approach

We welcome YOU

We do not judge or measure you against others. We work with you individually, providing the right mixture of support and technique to help you live with greater ease and fulfillment. Our clients come to us for a wide variety of reasons. Some have a general sense that “something is missing” and struggle with finding the words to describe how they feel. Others are facing a specific problem or stressor, have received a psychiatric diagnosis, or feel unfulfilled in their careers or relationships. Some want to change an aspect of their behavior, build coping strategies, or process a loss or trauma.

We understand YOU

At TMP we strive to understand what it is like to be YOU, and use our expertise and compassion to guide you towards a more fulfilling life. Our goal is to simultaneously help you gain resiliency and flexibility to manage life’s difficulties while developing a stronger sense of what you value most. We see therapy as a collaborative process, requiring frequent check-ins to mutually assure accountability and improvement in the identified areas.

We love learning about others, making human connections, and enjoying the rewarding experience of helping people live with more vitality, joy, and ease.

Therapeutic Alliance

Dozens of studies have shown that the “therapeutic alliance,” or the relationship between a mental health provider and client, is the most critical factor in treatment success. With this in mind, beginning with your first communication with TMP, we work towards helping you develop a genuine bond with your clinician. Before treatment even begins, every potential client receives an initial call from our highly trained Clinical Coordinator or one of our clinicians so that we can figure out which clinician and treatment approach offers you the greatest potential for improvement and growth.

Our Approach

We want to learn more about what you are experiencing and hear any thoughts you have about the type of treatment and/or clinician with whom you might feel most comfortable. Some of our clients prefer a therapist skilled in a particular technique or area of expertise, while others seek a supportive clinician who will help them using a range of approaches depending on the issues they face.

We will also clarify if you are seeking a professional who can advise on or prescribe psychiatric medications, a psychotherapist, or both. At TMP, we have the flexibility to provide you with a selection of different treatment styles and modalities all under one roof. We believe that our ability to identify and match you with a clinician whose background, style, and expertise fit your personal experience is what truly sets us apart.

Our mission is simple

To engage our clients in moving towards a more deeply satisfying, rewarding, and joyful life, no matter what struggles, challenges, or diagnoses they are facing.
