Getting to know Nelly Alia-Klein
Hi there, I'm Nelly!
My name is Nelly Alia-Klein (Dr. Klein). I am a NY state licensed Clinical Psychologist and Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. I earned my PhD in Psychology and Master's degree from Columbia University. I have decades of experience studying and publishing scientific papers on problems of self-regulation or self-control in addiction and anger disorders. I specialize in helping people with problems of self-control or those who want to attain better control over their feelings. I also work with individuals experiencing relationship conflicts or changes, including couples and divorce-related therapy. Through a combination of positive regard, skill setting, planning, and extensive personal and professional experience, I will help you through.
My approach
My therapeutic approach builds on your needs and expectations. There are many ways to address immediate issues, reduce symptoms, and promote positive outcomes. I pay close attention to existing medical conditions and brain health-perhaps more than other therapists-because of my specialization in neuroscience. For psychological and existential issues, I use behavioral therapies that include mindfulness, rethinking deeply held beliefs, and creating a blueprint for your therapeutic and life goals.
My focus
My experience and therapeutic approaches make me well suited to help you manage intense feelings such as anger and support choices to avoid drugs or other negative behaviors. I can also help resolve relationship and marital conflicts through couples therapy and/or separation mediation. If you are facing social or relational challenges, I would likely be able to help.
My communication style
My communication style is clear and straightforward, and I'm not reluctant to give feedback and provide advice when needed. At the same time, my style is adaptive to the individual-meeting you where you are right now.
