Get To Know The Daughter Mother Project Team
Judi Price, LCSW-R
I maintain a private practice in psychotherapy, supervision and consultation for individuals, couples, families, and professionals on the Upper West Side of New York City. As a therapist, I integrate psychodynamic, relational, attachment and systemic therapy with trauma-oriented techniques (EMDR, SE, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy) based in mindfulness and mind-body approaches. I am also a board member of TAASTTA (Trauma Awareness and Support through the Arts) and teach and present workshops on utilizing somatic techniques in therapy (When Words are Not Enough).
Since 1985 I have been affiliated with the Institute for Contemporary (ICP) where I completed training in family & couples therapy. At ICP I am an Intake Therapist, Supervisor, and Faculty of the Family & Couples Treatment Service as well as a founding member of the Daughter-Mother Project.

SYDNEY DIAMOND RATNER, M.PHIL., LCSW.
Sydney is a graduate of the Columbia School of Social Work and the Psychoanalytic Program of the Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy. Prior to her psychoanalytic training, she received her M.Phil in Anthropology from Columbia University, where she did fieldwork in East and South Africa.
Her anthropological studies led her to a desire to understand people from an individual psychological perspective rather than the more generalized view of anthropology. Her experiences as an anthropologist gave her a profound appreciation and respect for differences among people.
Sydney maintains a psychotherapy practice on the Upper West Side in New York. Her clinical interests lie in working with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety disorders and problems with separation. Her therapeutic approach is solution-focused and interactive.
As a founding member of the Daughter-Mother Team, she uses this approach to contribute to seminars and workshops centered on problems of separation and individuation.

ABBY STRAUSS, LCSW
Abby is a graduate of the Fordham School of Social Work and the Family and Couples Treatment program of the Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy. She co-teaches a class on Divorce and Loss at the Institute.
Prior to her return to school for an MSW from Fordham, Abby had a challenging and successful career as an attorney for a Fortune 500 company, where her work in litigation required not only an ability to work under pressure but to facilitate potential avenues of communication between starkly polarized parties.
Abby maintains a psychotherapy practice in midtown Manhattan. Her focus is on relationships whether her client is an individual, a couple, or an adult child and parent. Abby’s approach is grounded in her ability to be fully present and her warmth. She works with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, divorce, and the tension between family demands and high intensity careers. As part of the Daughter-Mother team, she holds a particular interest in repairing the cycle of broken communication that can be so damaging to the relationship.
Abby has extensive training in Emotionally Focused Therapy which speaks to attachment needs and their best expression in fulfilling relationships, whether in a couple, family, or the individual.
