Judgement & intimidation-free. I disclose. No taboo. 24-7 access. Cheap. I work for you. In a recovery that suits me. Harm reductionist. Non-enabler. Authentic.

I curse. Hetero-friendly. Anti-violence, censorship & patriarch. Non-religious. NYC educated. With a nod to the proverbial, “you can take the boy out of Manhattan” mantra, Jeffrey takes his Gotham identity, teachings, and open-minded optimism to tackle addiction and mental health from all directions including from within. Jeffrey (and please note formalities such as “Mr.”, “Sir”, “Dr.” need not qualify) has immeasurable passion and compassion for the undeserved, the shamed and the misunderstood. Due to his personal life journey as a marginalized American who identifies as a member of the LGBTQ community, Jeffrey has a mission, both personal and professional, to eradicate stigmas attached to diseases of the mind. Jeffrey had a Northern Minnesota base in his early ears, but as a teen, his heart was finally captured by what travels made clear: He was a New Yorker. The allure of the big city of big cities that is NYC was an attraction that would prove unwavering.
Jeffrey began his academic career in 1994 at Marymount Manhattan College where he graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications. When Jeffrey with a Master’s Degree in Psychology from the Colin Powell School of Global Leadership at City College in Harlem (Upper Manhattan). Jeffrey had a dream one day of become a writer and became just that and entered the world of publishing via an unpaid internship at a lifestyles magazine called Time Out New York. The quintessential New York dream became a quintessential and coveted New York existence inclusive of unbridled nightlife, celebrities, and copious amounts of alcohol and co***ne. Despite the price tag, terrorist attacks, megastorms and personal tragedy including addiction, a near-fatal heart attack as well as a humbling bike accident in 2016, Jeffrey remained faithful to the City. Jeffrey’s life changed in a major way after being struck by a car while on a bicycle in 2016. As a result, Jeffrey had 36 broken bones, 17 surgeries including emergency brain surgery, facial reconstruction, a shoulder replacement as well as metallic infrastructure of his destroyed lower left leg. After the accident and one final winter in NYC (and having avoided an addiction to opioids), Jeffrey was ready for a new challenge with one major requisite: No more cold weather on account of his new metallic body parts.

Thanks to those who have made my commitment to equality and affordability in addiction treatment and mental illness a reality for so many. People deserve the live free of the shackles of addiction and mental illness, and it's lifesaving treatment should not be reserved for those folk who can afford 28 days in Malibu.

Why should talking to an expert have to be so difficult?

Sometimes energies that need a release from the body have led to expensive repair work thanks to the hole you punched in the living room wall. Apply that would-be repair money to a session at jwMindbalance where I will serve as the punching bag, both literally and figuratively because, well, it’s my job. Not true for the temperamental wall who wasn’t bothering you and has the power to drop a ceiling on you! Ssssions start at $45.

I wrote the following in response to a dear friend’s overwhelming feeling of grief one weekend. She was puzzled as to why she was so sad despite the weekend not an anniversary of any significant event or memory of her mother:)

You don’t need to have an event correlating the date to feel emotional about your mother my dear. In fact, the mere fact that there was no date of significance attached to your grief is, in fact, the significance. It’s the everyday we need to cherish…the ordinary and the regular stuff. Perhaps there were days with your mother that nary a word was spoken but the power of her presence is so profound, the comfort we feel when those we love most are near…the safety, the warmth and the love…when that energy goes away, we notice it the most, either consciously or subconsciously, during the more quiet and less memorable days. But the energy is there and always will be. It has a strong enough pull that you will feel it from wherever she is and whatever form her energy has been assigned to. Perhaps one day that energy is light and Cheery like a songbird or a silly puppy…that said, you will feel those days too, inexplicably. Perhaps this weekend her spirit was helping the sick and suffering of her beloved Chile. You feel that. Perhaps one day she’s whale watching or doing something she was never able to in her later years…you feel her joy:) My feelings about what happens when we die are feelings of confusion at best. What science tells me is that energy never dies, and you had the infinite blessings of having had a mother whose spirit will always be alive and amongst us. I call it spiritual inertia. Energy perpetually bounces around with equal and opposite reaction. Your mother made waves with energy that was fiery but never unbridled, which she proved till her last breath. What’s wild is she was a force to be reckoned with when she needed to defend. When we have those wild summer storms I have no doubt your mother, out of anyone I know, will be that bolt of lightening that strikes twice…like a chanqleta on the ass of evil doers!! You can create the narrative…and it will give you do much comfort…trust me😜

Thanks to the kind support of people like Chris Lacko, who I am infinitely proud of for his new-found lucidity, Coleen Leonard for her non-judgement for the sick and the suffering, for Bari Kriependorf for always knowing what to say and for gifting us her practice, for my special friend Client D for your love of the Studio, and my husband Miguel for his quarter century of patience and tolerance as I continue to stare down challenge disallowing toxic forces to rain on my love parade. I have pity on those who are intimidated by we good deed doing boat rockers. The inertia of karma sneaks up on the aloof…

As we strive to renew our life outlook, reuse our spiritual toolbox that’s collecting dust in the house of our poisoned mind as well as make covert trips to your favorite out-of-network therapist (moi), we mustn’t forget that all the hard work will open so many new doors for the soul. We are renewed and not used, mature and regal not old and wrinkled, full of life and not a faded version of the 1990’s us…That said, it’s important for jwMINDbalance to maintain that same spirit when refurbishing a space. With ours, we did just that. It’s fun to hunt for the relics, and the passion for recycling and as a remedy to landfills that are landfull is contageous.
