Dr Joanna Fava - Psychological Services

I am a New York State licensed psychologist practicing in Scarsdale, New York. I provide evidenced-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in both individual and group formats. I also have training in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and incorporate mindfulness into much of my work. I treat teenagers through older adults who are struggling with a wide range of challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, emotion dysregulation, impulsivity, suicidality, interpersonal difficulties and stress management. I also supervise other clinicians who want to learn, or improve their skills in, evidence-based treatments. My goal is to provide a warm, nonjudgmental environment to help people manage emotions and stress effectively so that they can get greater joy and satisfaction from their life and relationships. I strongly believe that building a trusting therapeutic relationship is essential to help heal from past relationship traumas and move forward in one's life with greater ease and peace of mind. Therapy is a collaborative process and as a member of your team, I will work with you to develop and make progress towards your personal treatment goals. I also did a TED talk that will give you a little insight into who I am: https://www.ted.com/talks/joanna_fava_dare_to_exceed_expectations
