Psychologist and executive coach in Livingston, NJ

Perform better.
Connect better.
Lead better.

I'm Harold Altman. For more than 40 years I've applied family systems principles and a relationship-focused, interpersonal approach to help people understand what connects them and what gets in the way. Today I bring that work to executives, senior managers and leadership teams, as well as to couples, families and young adults.
