Getting to know Joseph Debonis

I work with adolescents, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, relationship and family issues, life transitions, and emotion dysregulation. I have particular experience supporting LGBTQIA+ clients and those in high-pressure academic and professional environments. I build therapeutic relationships rooted in authenticity, honesty, and deep trust. My style is curious, candid, and grounded in empathy. I earned a Master of Science in Social Work (MSSW) in Advanced Clinical Practice from Columbia University, where I was a member of the DBT Training Program and Lab through the Behavioral Tech Institute. Prior to my therapeutic training, I spent 15 years in management consulting and investing, where I managed and supported individuals and teams in highly stressful, perfectionistic corporate environments. I also have a B.A. in French Studies from Dartmouth College and an M.B.A. from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. Outside the therapy room, I enjoy running, biking, traveling, visiting art museums, and exploring New York City’s architecture and infrastructure.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is evidence-based and trauma-informed. I draw on DBT, CBT, IFS, Gottman Method and mindfulness, while integrating psychodynamic and relational perspectives when helpful.
