Ed was a wonderful man and fine psychotherapist, who graced us with his kind and thoughtful energy at Counseling & Psychotherapy of Throggs Neck. In leaving us, he touched us and made us better.

Ed Gaughran was my first individual supervisor at NYU and one of my best ever. He was kind, compassionate and generous with his time and ideas. He helped me find my own voice as a therapist and I will always be grateful to him for that.
Ed was a lovely human being and a wonderful mentor. I am so sorry to hear of his passing.
