I am a clinical psychologist providing therapy and assessment services in Scarsdale and Greenwich. I treat various conditions, such as depression, anxiety, behavioral problems, social anxiety, and school/work issues. I also focus on life transitions, whether that be a recent move, transition from college, changes in family dynamics, or changes in significant relationships. Furthermore, I have extensive experience in conducting psychological assessments. Therapeutically, I focus on developing teens and adults, where as I provide assessments for all ages.

My name is Dr. Stephen Dulski and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the states of Connecticut and New York. I provide comprehensive psychological and psychoeducational evaluations and therapeutic services to children, adolescents, young adults and their families. My treatment experiences include supporting individuals presenting with a range of anxiety, behavioral, mood and developmental disorders. The therapeutic interventions and testing recommendations I provide are tailored to match each client's unique profile, serving as the catalyst for future success. My emphasis on utilizing a collaborative and multidisciplinary treatment approach allows for consistency to develop across environments.

I'm a dedicated psychotherapist with an extensive and diverse background, spanning private practice, schools, college clinics, foster care, and hospitals, including acute care. With a passion for treating individuals of all ages, I specialize in harnessing the power of evidence-based therapies to create long-lasting positive change, focusing on the core of issues, rather than surface change. I take pride in fostering a safe, warm, and compassionate environment that embraces the unique perspectives of clients from diverse backgrounds. Even the most resistant patients find themselves engaged in the therapeutic process under my care.

With over 25 years of experience as a psychologist working with children, adolescents and adults, I have learned that a comfortable and honest relationship is the key to a successful outcome. I strive to create an environment that allows clients to feel safe in addressing their challenges and goals. I have extensive experience as a developmental psychologist, and I consider any intervention in the context of the client's broader environment. While I have extensive training in several clinical methods, my work draws most from research in cognitive behavior therapy and family systems.

I am a psychologist providing therapy and assessment services for children through adults. I have extensive clinical experience and am an expert Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. I’ve been trained by top therapy institutes, am a board member for well accomplished CBT organizations, and run the official podcast for the national CBT organization. I strive to regularly advance my knowledge and provide leading scientific treatments. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, panic, OCD, trauma, stress, insomnia, ADHD, defiance, and work/school issues. Many of my clients lead busy lives; therefore, I offer evening appointments.

I am a clinical psychologist specializing in children, adolescents and their families who are going through difficult times in their lives-depression, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, divorce reaction, and behavioral problems. What I love about the work I do is that, although I see people at some of the hardest times in their lives, as we work together, they find the skills, strength and desire to grow and change.

Therapy is a collaborative process between client and psychologist. Ideally, my clients and I will work together to identify their goals, and to find the best way to make those goals a reality.

Tired of ‘talking’ about your feelings and explaining yourself to another therapist? Let your art speak for YOU! With the 'Mindfulness of DBT‘ and client centered therapy; we create a “Tool Kit’ custom designed for your specific needs and goals using art and art therapy directives. Grounding and self-regulating skills are the foundation of our work together. Selecting art materials, what and how you create, the interpretation and meaning of your art; begins the therapeutic dialogue. Clients gain self-esteem, a new perspective and ability to tackle their issues and life challenges in a healthier and more productive way.

We will work together to help you make positive changes to your life—healthier, more stable, productive and fulfilling! I work to build a relationship based in trust and authenticity, so you can feel both safe and challenged. Safe to talk openly knowing you will be heard and understood and challenged to make the changes you want to make. I am trained in a variety of empirically-based, therapeutic techniques (CBT, DBT, ACT, and many more). Although these techniques are highly structured, I take an individualized approach to understanding my clients, viewing each client as unique with personal life experiences belonging only to you.

My one goal is to help you live an authentically joyful and fulfilling life. Anxiety and depression might be reasons for considering therapy but we often ignore or fail to recognize experiences of trauma. Unresolved trauma results in emotions and bodily feelings that keep you "stuck" in your life. Personal tragedies can cause trauma but trauma is also the cumulative result of every day stressors, such as COVID, relationship issues, employment, FOMO, and social media use. As a result, we may then experience negative emotional states that cause us to get pulled into unproductive and even harmful relationships and social situations.

Have you wondered if your child or adolescent would benefit from therapy? Our Practice offers a complimentary consultation to discuss any questions you may have. I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents who may be struggling with school issues, depression, anxiety, ADHD, behavioral and family issues, and autism spectrum disorders. You can talk to me about anything. I am accessible to parents and easy to talk to. I focus on your child, recognize their strengths, and develop tools to become their own therapist by learning how to deal with challenges. Clients often feel better early on in treatment.
