Vanessa Gomes, PhD

I am a New York licensed clinical psychologist with 16 years of experience in private practice. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, trauma and obsessive compulsive disorder. I work with children, adolescents and adults.

We all struggle and go through challenging moments in our lives. Psychotherapy can help you to identify and change negative patterns of thinking and behaving that might be negatively impacting your sense of well-being and quality of life. Sometimes we may benefit from receiving additional support to get through those difficult moments.

In addition to CBT, I utilize other evidence based interventions that are known to be effective and to generate results, including Attachment Based Therapy, Mindfulness, Exposure Therapy, and informed Dialectic Behavioral Therapy. I find that working collaboratively with my patients in identifying and prioritizing areas of intervention can make the therapeutic experience beneficial and rewarding. I believe that a strong therapeutic rapport is an important factor in obtaining treatment satisfaction and positive behavioral changes. My practice is designed to be limited in size, which allows me to provide a great level of individualized attention to my patients.
