I am the co-owner of a new therapy private practice in Beacon, NY called BFF Therapy. I wanted to take the opportunity to introduce myself because I specialize in the community you serve and hope to be a resource when you need support. Here is a little information on me with a flyer attached regarding my practice for your reference. I am a hearing, licensed Clinical Psychologist with my doctorate from Gallaudet University. I am fluent in American Sign Language and passionate about providing culturally competent therapy and testing services for Deaf youth and their families. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as suicidal ideation and self-injurious behaviors. I typically use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in session. For those not close by but still interested, we also provide teletherapy services. As a practice, we are open and enthusiastic about meeting with other professionals in the community and discussing how we might be able to educate staff and students about our field.
