Julie Iannone

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

I am trained in both the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), two evidence-based approaches to couples work. Together, they give me a rich framework for helping couples feel truly heard, have better conversations, and rebuild the connection, friendship, trust, and intimacy that brought them together in the first place, including rediscovering the lightness and fun that can get lost over time.
The same principles that guide my couples work inform my approach with individual clients as well, because how we relate to others is inseparable from how we understand ourselves.

Karen Wachtel

Psychologist, Ph.D

I am a clinical psychologist who offers individual adult psychotherapy, couples therapy, parenting support, and collaborative parent-child therapy. I work with many individuals adapting to and coping with with difficult transitions. This focus includes postpartum depression, the more general set of stresses associated with becoming a new parent, coping with a loved ones illness or challenges, and working through stage-of-life change.

I am a supportive, interactive therapist and enjoy working collaboratively. When working with parents, I focus on helping them come up with active interventions that can address their child’s difficulties and needs.

In addition to providing individual, couples, and parent-child therapy, I specialize in conducting comprehensive neuropsychological/ psychoeducational evaluations for children and young adults. When conducting evaluations I work hard to put children at ease and focus on understanding their strengths as well as their areas of vulnerability. I place emphasis on writing reports and giving feedback to parents in a manner that is accessible and understandable.

Kelsey Bates

Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CRC

I specialize in working in with high achieving women navigating complex chronic illness, chronic pelvic pain and women’s health issues as well as the anxiety and grief that come along with it. My clients are striving to find stability with illness all while juggling their career, relationships and family. I absolutely love what I do and am a firm believer that day to day life can get so much better with a support team behind you.

You may be wondering why I niched in women’s health. Simply put, I get it. After living with chronic illnesses for fifteen years, struggling to find correct diagnoses, surgeries and countless treatments, I understand first hand the impact of women’s health issues on your mental health. I empathize with the toll it takes on your body and your most important relationships. I get the grief that comes with the loss of dreams you had for your future, struggling with your identity as a woman and feeling betrayed by your body. My hope is to use my therapeutic skills and real life experience to help you get to the other side.

I founded New York Women’s CBT and expanded to group private practice with the goal of providing niched, expert care for more women in New York. Our clinicians are experts and passionate about working within women’s health issues. We want to walk together through pain and grief you are feeling, help you cope with anxiety and feel the fog of depression lifted. Complex chronic illness and health issues are a part of your story-they do not have to be all of your story.

Rebecca Alexander

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, EMDR, LCSW-R, MPH

I’m a psychotherapist with over two decades of experience helping individuals, couples, and families move through the complex and often contradictory realities of being human. My work is grounded in psychodynamic exploration and shaped by a strengths-based belief that people aren’t starting from scratch—they already hold the insight, resilience, and inner resources needed for healing. Therapy offers the support and perspective that allow those parts to emerge.

I draw from a broad and flexible range of modalities—DBT, IFS, AF-EMDR, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and addiction-informed approaches—so the work is responsive, intuitive, and tailored to each person’s needs and inner rhythm.

Collaboration is central to my practice. Clients thrive when the professionals supporting them are aligned, so I welcome close partnership with other clinicians to create thoughtful, coordinated care. I also provide supervision and consultation for therapists who want to deepen their clinical thinking and show up for their clients with clarity, consistency, and humanity.
