Getting Started
Everything you need to know to take your first step forward, including what to expect, how to prepare, and how we’ll support you along the way.
At Clear Mind Westchester, we believe that therapy works best when it is collaborative, personalized, and compassionate. Every individual—child, teen, or adult—brings a unique story, and our role is to walk alongside you in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space.
We use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help children and teens navigate the challenges of growing up. CBT is collaborative, flexible, and even fun, helping young clients develop step-by-step strategies to address everyday problems. Teens, whose brains often think in extremes, benefit from DBT’s five modules, which teach emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and impulse control.
Young adulthood can be a time of confusion and growth, as individuals navigate career paths, relationships, and core identity questions. We support emerging adults with goal setting, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and therapeutic exploration to clarify values and reduce stress.
For clients experiencing trauma, anxiety, or other distressing symptoms, we employ CBT, EMDR, somatic techniques, and Internal Family Systems. These approaches help individuals process traumatic experiences, challenge negative thought patterns, and regain a sense of agency and control. Therapy fosters resilience, self-understanding, and long-term well-being.
We offer Emotion-Focused Therapy, Relational Psychodynamic Therapy, and the Gottman Method to help couples rebuild trust, improve communication, and strengthen emotional and physical intimacy. Our work focuses on uncovering underlying issues, fostering connection, and repairing relationship ruptures.
Our comprehensive approach to addiction addresses both physical dependence and underlying emotional and psychological factors. We provide tools for coping, relapse prevention, and emotional regulation, while supporting clients in building a network for sustained recovery and a fulfilling life.
We integrate evidence-based practices with warmth, empathy, and individualized care. Whether addressing specific symptoms, exploring deeper psychological patterns, or supporting family and relational dynamics, we work collaboratively to develop a treatment plan that is as unique as you are.
