Getting to know Dr. Katherine Bell
I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing therapy and evaluations for individuals in New York and Connecticut. I hold a PsyD in Clinical Psychology and a Master’s in School Psychology from Yeshiva University’s Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, as well as a Master’s in Forensic Psychology from John Jay College of Criminal Justice. I completed my undergraduate studies at Boston University.
I am contracted with a number of insurance companies including, but not limited to:
- Aetna
- Optum
- United Healthcare
- Harvard Pilgrim
- Oscar
- Oxford
- UMR
I offer a complimentary consultation to answer any questions you might have and help you determine if I am the right fit for you. You can book an available timeslot on ZocDoc, free of charge. I look forward to speaking with you and starting this rewarding work together.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I provide a non-judgmental and compassionate space to explore thoughts and feelings, build upon your strengths, change patterns that no longer serve you, and develop effective means of coping. I work with children, adolescents and adults with a range of therapeutic needs, including mood disorders, anxiety, life transitions and relationship stressors. I also provide assessments for children and adolescents who may require and benefit from accommodations in school or for standardized testing.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I believe in individualized and flexible approaches to therapy. I work primarily from a psychodynamic perspective, meaning that I believe past experiences shape our present and that insight into these patterns can help enact change and promote improved well-being. I also incorporate CBT, DBT, relational, family systems, and mindfulness approaches. The most important ingredient to psychotherapy is comfort and connection with your therapist. My focus is on providing a space in which you feel understood and supported in attaining your personal goals.
