“I like to tell younger people - if they want to hear it - that you don’t have to do everything in what this culture tells you the timeframe should be. You don’t want to be rushed before you’re ready to do anything, especially in this one life you’re given in this one form. ”

Where to find Charley Wininger:
Charley Wininger has been a psychotherapist in private practice since 1989. Licensed as a psychoanalyst as well as a mental health counselor, he specializes in relationships and communication skills, treating couples and individuals in his Manhattan and Brooklyn offices.
Although he doesn’t use MDMA in his practice, he continues to benefit from personal experience with this medicine as it informs and improves his performance as a therapist.
He completed his post-graduate training at the Gestalt Associates for Psychotherapy in New York, and has continued his professional development the past fifteen years at New York’s Soma-Psyche Institute, where he learns intuition and empathic attunement skills.
“I like to call these peak experiences because I get a ‘peek’ into heaven, and after something like that I am never the same.”
