About Jeff Fine

In a career spanning two decades, Jeff’s mission has been helping people find happiness and fulfillment by working with them to optimize their emotional and physical health.

Over 20 years, Jeff has conducted thousands of sessions with individuals, families, and couples struggling with a broad array of mind-body conditions. These include conditions such as anxiety, depression, food/weight related issues, addiction, and relational problems. He has found that addressing the whole person, the TotalSelf, is the most effective way to help clients make transformative changes that give them the emotional freedom to fully enjoy their lives. That is exactly why Jeff created TotalSelf Counseling and Fitness. His unified approach to health includes psychotherapy, personal training, and nutrition counseling. This comprehensive blend of services is fundamental to his success in helping clients turn problems into opportunities for personal growth and change.

Jeff has always been dedicated to providing his clients with the highest standard of care. He has been tireless in his pursuit of the education, training, and professional experience needed to do so. His unique blend of credentials includes a BA in Psychology from Syracuse University, along with a Masters in Clinical Social Work and a Masters in Nutrition, both from New York University. Jeff also completed an advanced training program in Hypnosis at the New York Milton H. Erickson Society for Psychotherapy and Hypnosis. He then earned an Advanced Certificate in Exercise Science and Personal Training from the Swedish Institute, and he is a certified Personal Trainer from the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Jeff is a Crossfit trainer, has Crossfit certifications in barbell and Olympic lifting, and is a certified Sports Performance Coach through USA Weightlifting. 

Prior to opening TotalSelf Counseling and Fitness, Jeff maintained a full-time private practice in New York City.  Jeff is a compassionate and responsive clinician who believes in the healing powers of laughter and humor. Past professional experience includes serving as a senior consultant to the New York City Department of Mental Health, teaching as an adjunct instructor at New York University’s Department of Nutrition and Food Studies, and working in progressive, culturally diverse inpatient and outpatient settings.

Jeff resides in Westchester County, New York with his wife Kerry and their happy-go-lucky Standard Schnauzer Archie. Jeff occasionally brings Archie to the office. Archie's great personality has a way of reducing clients' stress and anxiety.  He is just as content to snooze in his crate as to sit beside clients listening intently to their conversation.
