I am licensed in New York with 40 years of professional experience as a psychologist. The spectrum of my work with clients ranges from helping cope with stress and anxiety to working on relationship issues, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, coping with life changes, and the pursuit of meaning. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment conducive to insight and where thoughts and feelings can be sensitively examined.
I am a multi-modal, integrative therapist experienced in diverse techniques ( depth psychologies, spiritual psychotherapies, behavioral, affective, existential, and cognitive-behavioral modalities). I am also a neuroscientist. I am professionally committed to the therapeutic philosophy that the client's needs and styles dictate the mix of methods, not the other way around.
Taking the first step to seek a more fulfilling life takes courage and is an investment in reimagining oneself for greater joy and cultivating an ever more resilient and meaningful sense of oneself. I am here to support you on that journey.

Dr. Armbruster has been instrumental in getting me back into my creative space and out of my depression over the last several months. I've made concrete moves in the right direction and those moves are discussed and accounted for in our sessions.

It’s been a pleasure working with Dr. Armbruster as I navigate a challenging period in my life. He is unlike the other people in my life and his support has filled a previously unknown absence.

Dr. Armbruster has been an amazing help to me at a very dark time. He got me through that and now we are working through understanding how my history influences the way I respond to the present and how by better understanding that past I can make changes to my thought process to ensure I am not caught in a vicious cycle. He is open, respectful and genuinely cares. I am very grateful for him and am enjoying the therapy process he is employing that has been curated specifically to my needs and what works for me.

I have been in and out of therapy for years, and Dr. Armbruster is by far the best therapist I've had. He truly cares, listens, understands, and offers great advice and support.

He knows his stuff - plain and simple. He provides you the utmost respect and patience, and then unravels wisdom he's learned from his own life as well as
his professional training. I'd recommend him again and again. In a world that can sometimes feel chaotic, Dr. Armbruster is a steady hand.

I was always hesitant (resistant almost) to get a help with my internal battles. As someone who likes to be in control or to never feel weak, seeking help has been a lifelong struggle. Once I finally committed to the platform, I was given a therapist that did not feel helpful. It almost shuttered my experience but I decided to give one more chance & chose Dr. A. From the beginning, I felt very comfortable & immediately understood as we navigate my issues. It's been great thus far. Highly recommend Dr. Armburster.

I have been in therapy for 10+ years. Dr. Armbruster has by far been the most knowledgeable therapist I have had. I am working with several different issues and Dr. Armbruster always makes sure we touch on each one. He is very patient, never makes you feel like you have to rush and even went over more than 20 minutes when I really needed it. He is kind and compassionate. I could have my insurance pay for therapy but I would have to change therapist and I am just not willing to do that, Dr. Armbruster is that good. I can't say enough good things about the experience I have had. I strongly recommend him.
