We specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
We help people struggling with anxiety, panic, OCD, stress, depression, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and related conditions. We help you face your fears, manage stressful situations, become more assertive, and make healthier choices. We have a compassionate, yet action-oriented approach. We see clients in person in NYC and virtually in NY, NJ, CT, RI, VA, and FL.
We teach you strategies for letting go of worries, coping with uncertainty, making decisions more easily, and becoming more assertive. We help you practice emotion regulation skills and mindfulness. To learn more, please go here.
We focus on exposure therapy to help you gradually, but steadily confront the situations that make you feel panicky and anxious. We help you let go of clutches that might give you a false sense of safety in anxiety provoking situations. We teach you breathing exercises, acceptance, and mindfulness to free yourself from panic. To learn more, please go here.
We teach you “exposure and response prevention (ERP)” so that you can break the vicious cycle of obsessions and compulsions. We address many forms of OCD, including “pure O” and relationship OCD. To learn more, please go here.
We teach you “habit reversal training” (HRT), which consists of identifying triggers that lead to skin picking, hair pulling, and other body-focused repetitive behaviors. HRT also entails developing competing responses to reduce the time spent on pulling and picking and learning to manage stress more effectively. To learn more, please get in touch!
We help you identify how anxiety holds you back in social situations, such as public speaking, dating, or meeting new people. We teach you how to reframe anxious thoughts so that you can break the vicious cycle of anxiety and avoidance. We walk you through exposure exercises so that you can face your fears and build a stronger social life. To learn more, please go here.
We help you identify signs of physical and emotional burnout and become more engaged with your life. We teach you how to change your relationship with self-defeating and depressive thoughts. We also focus on “behavioral activation” which is a CBT approach focused on reconnecting with the things that you find pleasurable. To learn more, please get in touch!
