Rachel Reich, PhD
As founder and director of The Center for DBT and Trauma Recovery, I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing individual and couples therapy to individuals across the lifespan. While my treatment approach is integrative, I have specialized training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as well as gold standard treatments for trauma including Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Prolonged Exposure (PE). I received my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology. My training includes experiences at Zucker Hillside Hospital centers of specialization, OMH psychiatric centers, and university counseling. I completed a post-doctoral fellowship as well as served as staff psychologist at a large DBT private practice providing full-fidelity DBT to adolescents and adults. In addition to private practice, I am currently affiliated with Northwell Health where I provide consultation and conduct DBT trainings on the Behavioral Health College Partnership (BHCP) inpatient unit.
Russi Soffer, PsyD
As a licensed psychologist, I work with youth and adults across the lifespan and specialize in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, depression, emotion dysregulation, and relationship challenges.
My style is curious, transparent, and collaborative. I aim to be actively engaged and attuned as we embark on better understanding you, your relationships, patterns, and history to contextualize your symptoms. In addition to reducing your suffering, our work will focus on creating lasting change and deepening your innate resilience. I utilize evidence-based practice and incorporate relational work as well. My training is grounded in cognitive-behavioral and third-wave therapies, with an emphasis on DBT. I am also certified in several gold-standard treatments for trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder. As a lifelong learner, I aspire to continuously integrate current theory and technique. Reaching out requires courage, and finding comfort in the therapeutic relationship is paramount.
