Getting to know Dr. Katherine Bell
I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing therapy for individuals in New York and Connecticut, as well as over 40 PSYPACT-participating states. 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 am contracted with a number of insurance companies including, but not limited to:
- Optum
- United Healthcare
- Oscar
- Oxford
- UMR
- Aetna
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 adolescents and adults with a range of therapeutic needs, including mood disorders, anxiety, life transitions and relationship stressors.
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 somatic 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.
