Lucia Vail, PhD is a licensed clinical psychologist with offices in midtown Manhattan and Brooklyn, New York. Dr. Vail practices individual and couple therapy with adults. She has been in private practice since 2005. With extensive experience and advanced training in both the cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic traditions, Dr. Vail specializes in helping individuals who struggle in stormy relationships, those who feel lonely or isolated, and those who too often feel frustrated and disappointed by their interactions with others, including in past experiences of psychotherapy. They may have experienced trauma or other early life stress, and may feel anxious and depressed. They may have been diagnosed with mood or personality disorders.

I enjoy working with all ages, from children to older adults. I spent the last three years working in intensive family therapy, working with parents and teens who were struggling with family dynamics, communication, and boundary setting. I also do couples work, focusing on rebuilding trust and strengthening communication. I utilize strength-based CBT and person-centered therapy to help shape sessions to fit each unique client and to challenge thoughts and beliefs to help the client process thoughts and feelings.
