Dr. Robert Reiner is the Executive Director and founder of Behavioral Associates (BA), and has been practicing psychology since 1981. He specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for individuals, couples and families alone or in combination with Biofeedback, Neurofeedback, Virtual Reality Therapy (VRT) and QEEG assessment. Dr. Reiner is a warm, compassionate psychologist that personally meets with each new patient during the initial consultation to assess the patients' individual needs, match them with one of the expert clinicians on staff, and devise a treatment plan. While he views medication as a last resort, psychiatrists are available to prescribe when deemed necessary.

Are you or your child feeling stressed, overwhelmed or anxious? I'm here to help. For over 18 years, I have worked with children, adolescents and adults in a variety of areas including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life stressors and/or transitions, behavioral difficulties, grief, trauma and childhood abuse.

My guiding principle as a therapist is deep listening without judgment (acknowledgement plus acceptance) so that people can feel the freedom to express themselves, explore their experiences and create authentic connection. I believe that listening is an essential tool in healing and feeling valued. My approach is trauma-informed and client-centered, with an anti-oppression lens. I am committed to the lifelong unlearning of colonial structures that are deeply rooted in mental health, and to holding space for others to unpack how societal and institutional structures have impacted their mental health and wellness.

I am a licensed therapist and work in a collaborative effort with each person to help foster insight, deeper understanding, and relief from suffering. I have experience helping people alleviate depression and anxiety, improve relationships, resolve career related conflicts, and increase self awareness. I have found that with the support of a therapist whom they can trust, people often have the courage to make changes in their lives to feel more fulfilled.

I am available as a well-trained clinical therapist to work with you on difficult life issues and managing problematic transitions. You are likely overthinking/overanalyzing situations without finding any satisfying resolutions to your problems. When too many unresolved issues related to feeling frustrated, disappointed and stuck leads to emotional suffering, it is time to consider working with a therapist. My approach to therapy is to help you reflect on your current issues which is sometimes (but not always) linked to unresolved childhood family issues. The past can have an unwanted impact over ones' life as functioning adults.

Hi! I'm Neli Betancourt-Rodriguez. I'm a Christian bilingual (Spanish/English) licensed mental health counselor in New York City. Whatever brought you here, I'm so glad you're here. Your story deserves to be heard, uncovered, and transformed into purpose. Your life matters. My hope is to walk alongside you in the aftermath of what can feel like the weight of the world. Sometimes, that aftermath looks like learning to trust again after abuse, or to feel joy after years of depression and sadness, or to unlearn patterns that no longer serve you. It may be hard to believe freedom is accessible. But here, I know it's possible. . .
