Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in New York, NY

“I’m going to push you, and you should push back at me.” My aim for our therapeutic relationship is to build a safety, but not a sense of complacency. You have already decided to make a change, let’s consciously pursue that. I utilize an integrative therapeutic approach that borrows from cognitive -behavioral, narrative and psychodynamic techniques.

I am an extensively published, world-travelled expert on trauma and chronic illness. I conduct therapy in English, Spanish, French, Russian, Portuguese, German, and Dutch. For the past 25 years, I have been assisting individuals with ADHD/behavioral challenges, trauma, PTSD, dissociation, depression, bipolar disorder, and physical illness. My clients range in age from 3 to 103. Early in my career, I developed a support group curriculum for AIDS orphans now available in 35 countries. Superb reviews of my work as a therapist are available online. Kindly employ email to contact me initially if possible. Thank you.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I completed my Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Fordham University and my Bachelor's Degree from Boston College. I work from a psychodynamic framework but may incorporate techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT ) when appropriate. I see clients looking to work through concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, relationship issues, and life transitions and adjustment issues.

As a longtime documentary filmmaker and writer, I have a particular interest in working with those in the creative arts.

Before I'm a therapist, I'm a person who loves to laugh, loves a really good workout, and not afraid to take risks! My professional life has taken me through Fortune 500 environments to small entrepreneurial ventures and almost everything in between. Life continues to teach me that being human is not always easy and that no one orientation, therapy, or approach works for everyone. I'm a strong believer in the connection between mind and body, so I'm always looking at different ways we can use our physiology to shift our psychology and vice/versa. (mindfulness, breathing, exercise, nutrition)

I am a psychologist providing therapy and assessment services for children and adults in Westchester County and Manhattan (Midtown East). I have extensive experience utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness, and have been trained by top therapy institutes in the field. I strive to regular advance my knowledge and to provide leading scientifically researched treatments. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, worry, depression, phobias, panic, OCD, trauma, anger, stress, insomnia, ADHD, defiant behavior, and work/school issues. Many of my clients lead busy lives; therefore, I offer evening appointments.

Aubrey approaches therapy from a person centered and collaborative place, rooted in openness, trust, honesty. She balances seriousness and humor, validation and supporting change, with CBT /DBT techniques to improve coping and self-efficacy. Healing can be uncomfortable and difficult, and her hope is to co-create a space where clients can create meaningful and lasting change.

I take an active and empathetic approach to psychotherapy by establishing mutually agreed upon therapeutic goals with my clients and providing a comfortable space to explore, discuss, and be heard. My therapy style combines psychodynamic, CBT and DBT therapies based on the specific needs of each client. With these approaches, I empower my clients to identify and achieve their goals by drawing on their unique individual strengths and minimizing fear and anxiety. They are able to gain a deeper understanding of who they are and how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors impact their functioning and relationships.

Dr. Baten incorporates CBT and holistic health in her practice. She helps individuals, children, families and couples develop new strategies to change old patterns. She stimulates emotional growth by teaching people to replace their self-defeating thoughts, feelings and actions with new and more effective ones. Patients are taught to identify the dysfunctional beliefs that lead to negative consequences in their mood and behavior as well as to replace poor food and lifestyle choices. She encourages individuals to be responsible for their own emotions, empowering them to change and overcome unhealthy behaviors that interfere with their ability to enjoy life.

If you’re lost, disconnected, pondering big questions, or trying to recover from these “unprecedented times,” you’re in good company. Together, we can create the change you seek. I offer a nonjudgmental, supportive space to face doubt and fear, say the unsayable, and do the uncomfortable (but fulfilling) work of growing emotionally and spiritually. We will collaborate to increase self awareness, clarify goals, redirect unhealthy patterns, and discover new possibilities and perspectives. I’m a former health journalist who listens with curiosity, asks key questions, and helps you find the authentic story you're meant to live.

I tend to be a good fit for clients facing major life transitions, seeking more satisfying and authentic relationships, or struggling with perfectionism or people pleasing habits. People who get the most out of therapy with me tend to be those who are able to commit to a daily wellness practice (ie. journaling, meditation, movement) outside of our sessions, and want a therapist who is validating and generally supportive, but also able to communicate directly and occasionally offer challenging feedback. I work well with young adults, queer or gender-nonconforming people, and those who care deeply about social and political issues.

Everyone wants to feel a sense of security and peace. People tend to develop rigid, inflexible thinking patterns that may feel safe, but limit their ability to remain present. In many of people’s struggles, they end up adding to their own pain. Haley's work aims to build awareness so that people can learn to invite difficult feelings into the space and create flexible thinking patterns, making it possible for healing and growth. Haley empowers her clients by guiding them to practice and implement realistic, everyday skills with a focus on mindfulness that aid in maintaining self-acceptance and confidence.

I employ evidence-based interventions with adolescents and adults who are struggling with worry, depression, identity, and navigating relationships (with themselves and others). Many of my clients are "high functioning" in that they get up each day, go to work or school (or both) and white knuckle it through the day. Yet, they also contend with issues like pervasive negative thoughts, overwhelming feelings of anxiety or loneliness, struggles with eating behavior and body image, overcoming trauma, focusing attention, and managing difficult relationships. I work with clients to lessen the effects of these struggles on their lives.

Roman’s view on therapy begins with the client first. He believes that the most important part of therapy is the connection between the therapist and the client. Each person who comes to therapy brings with them their own unique way of seeing the world as well as the challenges that go along with it. By working together, Roman strives to assist the client in changing themselves in the way that they desire. Roman’s training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Emotional Freedom Therapy (tapping), and Focusing Psychotherapy. Roman’s work experiences include working at a medical hospitals.

I have particular expertise in working with individuals from a multicultural perspective, including but not limited to, LGBT populations and providing psychotherapy in Spanish"
