Denise Guarino, PsyD
I deliver high quality evidence-based treatment with compassion, warmth, and authenticity
Welcome!
I am a licensed clinical psychologist in New York who loves working with clients to create meaningful life changes. I believe deeply in a person’s capacity to heal and grow despite how stuck they may feel. I use evidence-based treatment to help people move forward towards their goals and values. I would love to work with you.
My Approach
My style is genuine, warm and direct. I strive to help clients feel fully seen and understood. I think of the therapist-client relationship as a team working closely together to identify unhelpful patterns, deepen understanding of emotions, and move towards goals. My expertise is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and I have been extensively trained in several other treatment modalities. I tailor my treatment approach based on a clients’ needs and preferences and will work with you to find the treatment style that works best.
My Specialties
I specialize in treating adults with anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma/PTSD, managing intense emotional experiences, reducing perfectionism and self-judgement, coping with life transitions, navigating challenging relationships, and building coping skills.
