Getting to know Dr. Deniz Sidali
I am Dr. Deniz Sidali – a Licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in individual therapy. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from Hofstra University and have over 25 years of clinical experience as a therapist. Throughout my career, I have worked with a diverse range of clients in various settings, including college counseling centers, community mental health centers, hospitals, intensive outpatient treatment centers, private practice, world-renowned training and research centers, forensic settings, and with first responders.
I provide evidence-based interventions to help clients manage a wide array of mental health issues such as anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, phobias, panic disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, stress and anger management, adjustment challenges, and trauma. I am skilled in cognitive behavioral therapies and exposure and response prevention. Additionally, I have supported parents and families in addressing difficult behavioral and emotional problems in children, adolescents, and college-age students. Fundamentally, I offer healing, care, understanding, and judgment-free support to help individuals navigate critical moments throughout their lives.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Clients can always expect a personable, down to earth, reassuring, and judgment free environment where they are free to explore barriers towards actualizing their dreams, personal goals, becoming unstuck, strive for personal growth and advance towards becoming the best version of themselves they can possibly be. We will work on developing a trusting relationship and collaborate at individualizing your course of treatment at a pace that is acceptable for you. As your therapist, I may need to gently encourage you to challenge yourself at certain points during our work together with the ultimate purpose of fostering progress, symptom alleviation, and self-development. But rest assured, I will periodically check in with you to gauge your comfort level and input. We will examine factors within and outside your control while teaching you the proper coping skills you need to manage stressful situations.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I tend to adopt a collaborative, flexible approach and utilize eclectic treatment modalities to suit the individual client’s needs. Initially we may need to conduct proper evaluation and diagnosis in order to formulate a comprehensive treatment plan to best suit your therapeutic needs. As a seasoned therapist, I find it highly beneficial providing clients with psychoeducation and normalizing their reasons for soliciting therapy. The first step in the healing process entails becoming aware of a concern that needs to be addressed. That’s where a healthy therapeutic relationship can be helpful in channeling your insight into constructive change through practical guidelines.

I have been going to Dr. Sidali for a couple of weeks now and have nothing but good things to say. She asks though provoking questions that allows me to have a deeper understanding of my problems and how I could look to fix them both in the session and on my own. 10/10 would recommend!
More than 1 year agoBF
Dr. Sidali is kind, a great listener but not your psychologist who will just sit back, listen to you ramble for an hour and then charge you. She might ask permission to interject and add some insights into your struggles which is exactly what I was looking for. Someone who is great at listening and then applying their knowledge and expertise to guide me a little bit. She is also very flexible with her schedule and doesn't charge a penalty for last minute changes if you have an emergency which is much appreciated. Overall great experience over the last 8 or so weeks

My experience with Dr. Sidali has been amazing and has exceeded my expectations. She has been extremely helpful dealing with my personal experiences and I highly recommend her and the phenomenal work she does.

she had taken a good amount of time to work on intake which felt it dug into my time to focus on the therapy. She seemed to have a lot on her plate with other patients that she didn’t have things correctly organised and maybe took on too much responsibility.

Rating out of 5 stars would be a 6
Review:
I have been seeing Deniz Sidali for months now for anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. From the very first session, I felt comfortable, heard, and understood.
Deniz has a warm, compassionate, direct, insightful, supportive, and encouraging approach that resonates deeply with me. They actively listen, ask insightful questions, offer helpful coping mechanisms, challenge my thought patterns, and provide a safe and non-judgmental space.
I've learned valuable coping skills; I feel more confident in myself, I'm able to communicate more effectively, and I'm experiencing less anxiety/depression.
I highly recommend Deniz to anyone seeking individual therapy or couples therapy. She is a skilled and compassionate therapist who has made a significant positive impact on my mental health.

I've been working with Dr. Sidali for a while now, and I can't recommend her enough. She is incredibly kind, supportive, and easy to talk to, which has made opening up about challenges much easier than I expected. Her thoughtful approach and genuine care have helped me make significant progress in areas I was struggling with. I always leave our sessions feeling heard and with new tools to navigate life. If you're looking for someone who truly listens and helps guide you toward growth, Dr. Sidali is amazing!

I have consistently been impressed with Dr. Sidali's care and compassion for me as a patient. She always has a way of making me feel that she truly cares and is both willing and happy to help me work through whatever I am dealing with. Additionally, I appreciate that her advice is exceptionally well-informed, backed by her deep knowledge of psychology. It was important for me to find someone willing to commit fully to helping me navigate my challenges, and she does exactly that. Dr. Sidali goes above and beyond to ensure I feel comfortable and to encourage a positive outlook on life, no matter the circumstances. Ultimately, reaching out for an appointment was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my mental health, and I am deeply grateful to have found her to help guide me through life's situations.

My Sessions with Dr. Sidali, have been wonderful. She is always empathetic and understanding to what my issues and incredibly insightful in her analysis, illuminating things I couldn't see. She does this all with a kind honesty that not only makes you feel heard but relaxed and open to share more each time.

Dr. Sidali’s ability to guide me toward insights I hadn’t considered before, and help me develop practical strategies for managing my anxiety and stress has been beneficial in my mental health journey.

I’ve seen Dr. Sidali consistently and she has been an incredible resource. She was very easy to schedule with and is very responsive to messages (more than any other doctor I have ever worked with). She is accommodating of last minute changes which is a really rare yet important quality in a mental health provider. Our sessions are very helpful to me and she is open-minded, compassionate and intelligent. I recommend her wholeheartedly!

Dr. Sidali helped me (and still is) to navigate a very difficult time in my life.
She is really thoughtful, always taking the time to understand my concerns deeply and providing insights that have been incredibly valuable to me.
Her respectful and non-judgmental approach made me feel comfortable and understood throughout our sessions.
I am really grateful for the support she’s given me.
More than 1 year agoSA
She doesn’t really care about her patients. She rushes on sessions and closes before time ends. I did 4 sessions and did not solve anything. She charges you on cancellations even if you have an emergency and unfortunately can’t attend. Her policies are not fit for patients.
