Therapy
Evidence-Based Treatment
In addition to being a researcher and professor, I am a cognitive behavior therapist (CBT). I provide support and teach therapeutic techniques from Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am licensed to provide services to people in New York State (license #025137) and West Virginia (license #9924).
Psychotherapy
I provide evidence-based psychotherapy for mental health problems. Sessions are usually 45 minutes long and conducted remotely via video conference.
Clients Served
I specialize in working with people who have depression, anxiety, and PTSD. However, I have experience treating insomnia, stress, self-doubt, and grief. I am typically not a good fit for people with needs related to psychosis/schizophrenia, autism, bipolar disorder, or suicidal behavior.
Getting Started
Typically I meet with people first for a brief, free, 15-minute phone consultation. In this session I will ask about your needs and describe my approach. After that, we can decide whether to schedule a 45-minute initial diagnostic appointment and continue to determine whether I am a good fit for your needs. If we decide to do engage in psychotherapy, we will develop a plan of action and work together to achieve your goals in weekly 45-minute sessions.
