My areas of focus include anxiety in all its forms (avoidance, overthinking, perfectionism, ocd), depression, low self-esteem, borderline traits, relationship issues, gender and sexuality, sexual functioning, and trauma.
I prioritize an interactive and relational approach to therapy, helping clients to understand the factors contributing to destructive patterns, uncover their strengths, and develop the skills and opportunities necessary for improvement and their version of success. I understand the impacts of an invalidating narrative and strive to help people build greater confidence and a sense of productivity in their personal and professional lives.

Welcome! I am a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice on the Upper West Side. I completed my Ph.D. at Fordham University, and my pre-doctoral internship at the Yale University School of Medicine. I specialize in providing treatments that have been supported by research including cognitive behavioral therapy for mood and anxiety disorders, dialectical behavior therapy for emotion dysregulation/ borderline personality disorder, and relapse prevention/motivational interviewing for substance abuse. In addition to my private practice, I work as a supervising psychologist at Montefiore Medical Center / Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
Mentalization is the capacity to understand ourselves and others in the context of mental states, such as thoughts, feelings, desires, wishes, or fears. MBT groups aim to strengthen participants' ability to mentalize, thereby allowing them to better maintain relationships and choose healthier more adaptive means of expressing and managing intense feelings. This online MBT group is open to individuals in a number of states, and is co-facilitated by my colleague Edward Patzelt, a clinical psychologist.

I do this by staying unrelentingly curious and putting my mind to work alongside yours using Mentalization Based Treatment (MBT), an evidence based treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder ( BPD).
When my clients first come to me, their lives feel chaotic and out of control. No matter what they do, they can’t seem to break free from recurrent depression, major ups and downs in their mood, and significant difficulties in their relationships. All they want is to feel more peace within themselves and in the relationships that matter to them the most. They want to be able to live life on their terms, and yet, this keeps on eluding them, even though they might be really accomplished in other areas of their life, like work.
In this group, Heather Yassick, LMHC helps you discover how to view yourself and the world through a new lens in order to regulate your emotions and regain control of your life using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). The four pillars of DBT include mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Experience the freedom of navigating pain, challenges, negative emotions, stress, and conflict in healthier ways for the purpose of greater self-awareness and improved wellbeing. Heather’s leadership style has been described as engaging, educational, humorous and warm. This group meets weekly online on Wednesdays at 12pm EST.

Finding the right psychotherapist is challenging and can be a lengthy process. Once the search is completed and the therapy is under way, it will become rewarding and healing. My approach to psychotherapy is mindful, accepting and supportive. Trained in individual, couple, and family therapy, complex trauma, as well as clinical medicine and public health epidemiology, I provide treatment from an individualized integrative perspective, based on what is most beneficial to each person. My cultural and crosscultural perspectives allow me to factor in the cultural impact on human behavior.
Through our interactions with others, we experience different interpersonal connections, which can be harmful or positive. Varied emotional states can disrupt mental processing and create potential for misinterpreting information. These miscommunications hinder our ability to maintain relationships, foster deeper connections, and limit our identity and growth. We utilize group dynamics to explicitly discuss our emotional and cognitive processes, allowing the group members to take a curious stance to understand encounters flexibly.

Borderline Personality (BPD) Support Groups
What is the most successful approach to treating borderline personality disorder?
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is considered the gold standard of treatment for borderline personality disorder. An evidence-based treatment, it addresses the extreme emotional reactivity, the relationship difficulties, and the acts of self-harm that create so much distress for BPD patients. DBT is a comprehensive program that includes both regular individual psychotherapy sessions and weekly group sessions of skills training.
What happens in treatment of borderline personality disorder?
Treatment typically consists of weekly individual therapy sessions that last an hour and group skill-focused instructional sessions that may last up to two hours. Patients are typically given homework “assignments” in which they are asked to practice in their daily life the skills they acquire in therapy. Patients also keep a diary tracking their emotions and impulses as a way to know which situations are most problematic and to help them gain control over their own behavior. Difficult situations and feelings are typically reviewed in therapy sessions and more constructive solutions found.
What kinds of problems does BPD treatment help with?
DBT was initially developed to dampen the self-destructive impulses of chronically suicidal patients. It is now the treatment of choice for borderline personality disorder, a serious condition marked by extreme emotional reactivity, relationship instability, and self-injurious behaviors. Treatment of BPD helps patients tolerate the flux of emotions without acting on them, often with a specific focus on tolerating negative emotions. DBT addresses the core problems of BPD—fear of abandonment, low self-esteem, and impulsivity.
What is the goal of treatment in borderline personality disorder?
The goal of treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD) is to relieve the extreme emotional distress that patients experience—to curb their emotional reactivity, to minimize their inclination to self-harm, and to reduce their impulsivity. Toward these ends, patients are not only taught an array of new coping skills and techniques for emotional regulation, they are given opportunities to practice them. Another major goal of treatment is interpersonal effectiveness; patients learn and problem-solve ways to effectively communicate in relationships, especially how to ask for what they need as a way to minimize hurt feelings.
