Dr. Anna Derbaly-Basenese, PsyD

Psychologist
NJ
I am a clinical psychologist practicing full time for the last 2 years. I hold a PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Nova Southeastern University. My training focuses on humanistic and emotion-focused approaches to psychotherapy for adults. With a strong understanding that the past shapes the present, I adopt a holistic approach to guiding patients through self-discovery and growth. Throughout life, we are often faced with obstacles that can be daunting and overwhelming, leading to difficult emotions that can leave one feeling powerless. Many people experience feelings of depression, anxiety, or despair at some point in their journey. If you are facing changes in your life-whether coping with a new chronic illness, a traumatic experience, or shifting relationship dynamics-I am here to guide you toward new skills for managing stress and gaining a broader perspective on the world around you.

What should a new client know about working with you?

As a psychologist, it is my firm belief that past emotional experiences have an impact on the present. Together, we will focus on promoting awareness, acceptance, and expression of emotions in a transformative manner. The goals in our work are to strengthen your sense of self, regulate emotions, and facilitate corrective emotional experiences. My perspective on psychotherapy is empathetic and collaborative. The (virtual) therapy room is a safe space for authenticity, honesty, and unconditional positive regard. It takes significant courage and bravery to begin your therapy journey, but reaching out is the first step!

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I work with clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, or coping with a recent traumatic event. I also specialize in adjustment to chronic illness or physical disability. During our initial session, we will focus specifically on your history and specific issues that you're experience, as well as creating a plan together to put you on a path of healing and wellness. The goals in our work are to strengthen your sense of self, regulate emotions, and facilitate corrective emotional experiences.
