Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Upper West Side, New York, NY

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.

I believe that the foundation of effective therapy is the therapeutic relationship between a therapist and a client. Without that, there is no way for trust to be built and no progress to be made. I specialize in treating adults who are struggling with mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, addiction, and those experiencing infertility. I work with individuals and additionally am a Certified Group Psychotherapist, running a number of groups. I know that change is not easy. I am dedicated to helping my clients create the life they've always wanted, and living it to their full potential!

Noam Schneck, PhD, is a New York State licensed clinical psychologist and an assistant professor of psychology at Columbia University in the Department of Psychiatry. Dr. Schneck provides psychological treatments utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy, insight oriented therapy and mindfulness approaches within the context of a warm and caring relationship. His research work investigates the processes by which unwanted and painful thoughts come to mind and influence behavior and life functioning. He has a wide array of experience treating children, pre-adolescents, teenagers and adults.

The demands of modern life increasingly necessitate managing multiple roles and stressors, while also offering numerous ways to distract and numb ourselves through technology and other outlets. It is easy to become disconnected from our relationships and ourselves, and lose sight of our values and goals. I believe that psychotherapy provides a unique opportunity to slow down, examine emotional and behavioral patterns that may be ineffective, and make more conscious choices about how to live. My role as a therapist is to help you define your goals and facilitate a supportive and collaborative partnership that empowers you to achieve them.

We all have struggles. Some are situational, some go way back. Whatever it is that brings you here - maybe feelings of anxiety, anger, or depression, difficulty in relationships, or maybe you experienced early trauma that seems to resurface in unwelcome ways - know that you don't need to do this alone. I'll partner with you to help identify and understand your unique challenges, obstacles and strengths, and together we’ll develop the tools you need to work through difficulties. I use a fluid variety of approaches, including cognitive-behavioral, relational, psychodynamic, as well as EMDR therapy, which can help to process trauma.

As a traumatologist I provide expert,holistic treatment services for adults, and high conflict,distressed couples via Zoom. I have over 30 yrs experience with mood disorders ,relational difficulties and recovery from multiple traumas. I created the Resortrative Integrated Therapy Pgm (RIT) to help people feel empowered to use their unique gifts to better their lives in a practical way. My practice is committed to Black Lives Matter to disrupt racial violence and institutionalized oppression. I welcome your call to discuss personalized and holistic treatment options .

I believe in creating a relaxed, responsive, collaborative and supportive environment in order to explore your concerns. I enjoy helping adults and teens navigate the social and emotional challenges of today’s world. I work with anxiety and depression, disordered eating and body image issues, self-esteem, trauma and relationship issues. I use a strength-based, client-centered approach to uncover the underlying source of the issues, and to identify triggers that can lead to troubling thoughts and behaviors.

I work with adults looking for relief from anxiety, depression, stress, challenging life transitions, and problematic use of alcohol and other substances. Perfectionism, damaged self-esteem/self-worth, guilt, and shame are all confounding factors that commonly drive our painful emotions and self-sabotaging behaviors. Our work together can help you discover ways to effectively manage difficult emotions, expand limiting thoughts and beliefs, and find motivation for behavior change, guiding you toward a more satisfying, serene, and fulfilling life.

As a clinical psychologist, I meet my patients exactly where they are. We work together to bring about symptom relief from the issues that have led them to therapy; to change longstanding negative patterns which continue to get in the way. The goal is to create and sustain a happier, meaningful and more fulfilling life. I have worked in many NYC hospitals including Mt. Sinai and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, as well as a fellowship at the William Alanson White Institute. Using an eclectic approach, I practice cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal and psychoanalytic techniques to tailor treatment to each individual's needs.

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.

Experiencing anxiety, worry, fear or panic attacks related to PTSD, social anxiety, general anxiety, or OCD? I have helped many high functioning people who suddenly find themselves experiencing excessive anxiety by using a combination of CBT and other modern techniques, such as mindfulness and desensitization --- Traumatic experiences, work related stress, difficulty in relationships, health problems, economic insecurity, or major changes in life circumstances can be the cause of anxiety or panic attacks. My approach is collaborative and flexible to help you learn how to manage distress and to make the changes that will increase your satisfaction in life.

I have been practicing for over 20 years and have a strong expertise in relationships (couple's therapy, dating, infidelity, relationship conflict, divorce, etc.). I also specialize in anxiety, trauma, addictions and working with high-achieving individuals. My approach involves helping clients develop insight about why they are finding themselves "stuck," while also teaching useful skills that facilitate behavior change; both are crucial for lasting change to occur. Insight provides understanding and self-compassion. Skills help us function better in our day-to-day lives. My approach is empathic, collaborative and practical.

I work with artists, couples, people with chronic illness, and young adults with separation and intimacy issues, seeking to find who they are. We consider how "old issues" sometimes interfere in our moving forward. I help individuals pick good partners and feel safe letting someone get close to them. I also help them to set appropriate boundaries with their parents and others. I reduce my fees to what is affordable for the client. I enjoy working with couples and understand cultural differences, having a Ph.D. In Russian, and lived in Russia and France, and worked with Asians, Latinos, Russians, Mormons, and Orthodox Jews.

I specialize in supporting individuals facing a spectrum of life challenges, including feelings of sadness, anxiety, struggles in relationships, and experiences of past traumas. I provide clarity, inner peace, and a renewed sense of purpose. I provide deeper understanding of themselves, the development of resilience, and the pursuit of a more fulfilling life. My goal is to help them navigate through obstacles and attain emotional well-being and personal growth.

Hello. Thanks for reading about me. I’m a warm, down to earth psychologist with a passion for helping people. Staying present focused, we will center on keeping your hopes and dreams up front, while reducing distress in the context of a solid and genuine therapeutic relationship. We will work to enhance your understanding of the barriers that are keeping you from achieving your goals and learn skills to turn that understanding into strategies to better overcome them. While there is no quick fix to most problems, I use proven strategies (such as CBT and DBT) that will help you experience relief and progress relatively soon.

Understanding complicated thoughts feelings and behaviors can be difficult to unpack on your own. I am here to work collaboratively so that we can reach your goals together. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults.

My goal as a therapist is to create an honest, safe and non-judgemental space. We will work together to gain insight into the behaviors that might be causing you stress, anxiety or feelings of sadness and loneliness. I'm available for a free 15 minute phone or video call to see if I can be helpful to you.

As a therapist I am privileged to help. I provide a space where clients can rediscover or develop authentic selves and deepen emotional connections with others. I enable clients to recognize how thoughts, beliefs and values affect relationships and to consider new ways of being in the world; to develop healthier adaptive strategies when facing problems, and to work through past and present trauma, grief, and losses.Psychotherapy does not have to be painful - it can be a safe, creative, and playful process of strengthening one's health and well-being.
