PERFORMANCE INSTITUTE FOR COGNITIVE AND BEHAVIORAL THERAPIES

Transform your mind, transform your life with Performance CBT

Let our caring, honest, scientifically-based approach to therapy give you the tools and strategies you need to get unstuck and start living your life more fully. We integrate gold-standard treatments such as CBT, ACT and ERP as we focus on helping each client reach their goals.

At the Performance Institute for CBT, we see this process as an intertwining of both art and science. The field of psychology is based on science, as are our evidence-based treatment methods. Therapy itself, however, is more of an art. In being responsive to each client, we find ourselves creatively applying proven treatment methods to suit each person's unique needs.

​

In addition to serving the NYC metro community at large, we provide specialized therapy for LGBTQIA+ individuals and performing artists. We know that finding a therapist who you can relate to can be a challenge, so we focus on what we know best- connecting with clients, meeting them where they are at, and working as a team to help them reach their goals.
