Getting to know Dr. Adella Nikitiades

As a psychologist with a PhD in Clinical Psychology from New School, I believe that we are all doing our best to navigate life's challenges and difficulties based on our current awareness and understanding of the sources of our distress. Deepening our insight into the internal and external causes of suffering can lead to changes in our emotional responses, our ability to tolerate distress, and our behavioral expressions and choices. Through the therapeutic process, we can actualize our full potential and begin living a more satisfying life, closer to our ideals and best selves. I take a collaborative approach to this process, where together we identify and better understand barriers to change in a culturally sensitive, safe space. I strongly believe that each individual is unique and an expert on themselves; therefore, no treatment can resemble another. I tailor my approach to your specific needs, offering individualized, client-centered treatment by flexibly drawing from different therapeutic approaches. My primary approach is relational psychodynamic treatment, and I effectively utilize Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral (DBT), and Mentalization-Based (MBT) techniques as needed. I currently run teen and adult DBT skills groups at my practice. I have worked with numerous individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, and dissatisfaction in interpersonal relationships. I have expertise in trauma-informed psychotherapy, transition to parenthood and ongoing parenting challenges, couples therapy, as well as issues of emotional or physical violence at home. I have worked with individuals across the lifespan and have specialized in child treatment and parent-child psychotherapy.
