This is one-on-one therapy based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). We also offer variations of CBT, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). You can expect an open, non-judgemental, collaborative environment with a therapist who is empathetic and supportive, but also motivating, progress-oriented, and goal-focused. We have a “non-stuffy” policy for our clinicians, meaning you will find our therapists to be relatable and another human in the room with you.
The first 1-3 sessions are the assessment phase, where we learn about your symptoms, problems you want to focus on, and your history. After this, you will be provided a working diagnosis and a description of the proposed treatment.
From there, treatment starts. During the treatment phase, in each session we will collaboratively decide on 1-2 things to work on. From there, the problem will be assessed and then a strategy will be chosen to address the problem. By the end of the session, you will feel like you learned a new skill, perspective, or approach to address this and similar problems. Treatment is flexible, so we can address problems as they occur, even if it was not the initial focus of therapy.
You can expect an individualized conceptualization which your treatment is based on. As we get to know each other, your clinician will be modifying their understanding and approach and will monitor your progress to make sure you're getting the treatment that you need.
We combine deep clinical expertise with a commitment to delivering clear, actionable results quickly. Our team’s experience, empathy, and dedication to individualized care have made us a trusted partner for families, schools, and professionals across the NY Metro Area. We take on a limited number of clients at a time to ensure focus and speed of report delivery.
