Everyday life presents everyday challenges. That’s why I’m here to ask you… How Can I Help?
My name is Dr. Gail Saltz, I’m a clinical associate professor of psychiatry at the New York Presbyterian Hospital, a psychoanalyst, best-selling author, and I’m here to help.
Join me every Tuesday and Thursday on this podcast where we look at your most pressing questions and give helpful guidance on topics ranging from coping with anxiety and mood, relationships, to family and parenting issues, to workplace dynamics, and everything in-between. No matter what challenges you face, you don’t have to navigate it alone. So… How Can I Help?
