Getting to know Dr. Emily Chinitz

I received my degree in combined school-clinical child psychology from the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology of Yeshiva University. My undergraduate degree was obtained at Emory University, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BA in Psychology. I trained at many of New York City's top hospitals, including North Shore-LIJ (now Northwell Health), Montefiore Medical Center, and received specialty training in trauma assessment and treatment at the Metrowest Behavioral Health Center, a division of the nationally renowned Justice Resource Institute in Massachusetts. I have extensive experience providing psychological and therapeutic services to adults, children, adolescents, couples, and families with a wide array of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma/post-traumatic stress disorder, adjustment and relationship issues. My therapeutic approach integrates both cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic techniques to form a highly individualized treatment plan that is created collaboratively with each person and family I work with.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I have a warm and empathic approach to working with clients. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important agents of change in therapy, therefore I place tremendous value on making patients feel comfortable to fully participate in the treatment process to maximize the opportunity for progress and healing. During your initial visits, time will be spent learning about you - your past history and present life circumstances - identify the concerns you would like to address in therapy, and work together to form your individual treatment goals and the most effective approach to working towards achieving those goals.
