Getting to know Dr. Howard Bernstein
Hi there, I'm Howard!
I am a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience treating anxiety, depression, anger problems, and relationship, job-related, and aging-related issues. I work part-time in a NY State outpatient clinic with psychiatric outpatients and have helped NYC bus and train operators overcome work-related trauma and phobic reactions. Born and raised in Brooklyn, I graduated from Columbia University and earned my PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University. I currently reside in Manhattan. I primarily employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help individuals manage problems and stressors by improving and teaching new skills and ways of viewing themselves and their environments. I wish you good luck in your journey toward making your life better.
My approach
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, stress management, relaxing breathing, anger management, and assertiveness techniques to help people overcome stressors and barriers and improve relationships. My specialties include anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, depression, and relationship issues. I also treat older individuals and those with psychotic symptoms under psychiatric care.
My focus
I help people seeking to overcome anxiety, panic, depression, relationship problems, loneliness, or who wish to improve self-esteem. I also treat individuals facing aging challenges or serious mental illness. Typical goals include mastering panic and fear, feeling happier, being more assertive, controlling emotions and anger, and feeling better about themselves.
My communication style
My style is supportive and direct—I have been described as “down to earth and experienced.” I am an active listener and believe we all have the capacity to make our lives better and feel happier, less afraid.
