Getting to know Dr. Gary Altheim
I am a New York State licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 30 years of experience providing therapeutic support to teens, adults, seniors, and families. I earned my PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Yeshiva University's Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology. My approach is rooted in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. While past and present stressors can sometimes feel overwhelming and steer us off course, seeking help is a courageous step toward healing and growth.
As a Clinical Psychologist, my priority is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where we can work collaboratively to empower you to heal, rediscover joy, and chart a brighter path forward. Together, we'll focus on helping you overcome challenges and achieve your potential.
In 2018, I was honored as a finalist for the Child Mind Institute's Annual Change Maker Awards and featured in Parents Magazine for my work addressing critical issues like family instability, community violence, mental health, and learning disabilities.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate challenges and cultivate a greater sense of balance and fulfillment in their lives.
My approach is strength-based, insight-oriented therapy. I help you reclaim a healthier emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being by providing my clients with tools to help them thrive, utilizing mind-body awareness techniques and cognitive behavioral approaches.
I have extensive experience working therapeutically with children, youth, adults, parents, elders, couples, and families. I work with a wide variety of individuals who are grappling with relationship issues and psychological conditions such as complex trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, and loss.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Before beginning treatment I have a free 15-minute phone consult to make sure there is a good fit between him and his client.
I see my role as guiding the process as a conduit for transformation and positive change, while your commitment to practice empowers you to realize your full potential. I provide my clients with tools to help them thrive, utilizing mind-body awareness techniques as well as cognitive behavioral approaches.
