Emily Rebenstock (she/her)

My name is Dr. Emily Rebenstock and I am a clinical psychologist (licensed in NY and NJ). I work with individuals and couples who are experiencing anxiety, navigating life transitions, identity concerns, trauma, relationship challenges and the complexities of parenthood. My practice is trauma-informed and LBGTQIA+ affirming. Additionally, I have specialized training treating perinatal anxiety, depression, and OCD. My approach is warm, collaborative and insight-oriented.

During my 4+ years as a perinatal psychologist at The Motherhood Center of New York, I developed an expertise in treating mood and anxiety disorders during pregnancy and postpartum. Becoming a parent is a monumental, life-altering experience. Whether you are experiencing shifts in mood, anxiety or panic attacks, difficulty bonding with your baby/pregnancy, intrusive thoughts, challenges communicating with your partner, loss/grief, or just struggling because the experience is different than you expected it would be, these experiences are much more common than social media leads on, and therapy with a trusted professional can help. I support both birthing people and their partners, because I understand that trying to conceive and becoming parents has a profound impact on the whole family.

I also specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples, individuals with trauma, those who have difficulty managing overwhelming emotions, or who are interested in deeper insight and self-understanding. If you want relief, and also hope to use therapy to learn about yourself and become more intentional about your approach to living, I am here to partner with you.

My therapeutic orientation is grounded in my belief that a strong therapeutic relationship is a meaningful part of the work we do. Together, we will discuss strategies for you to notice and talk about your thoughts and feelings, and find specific ways to get through tough moments. At a pace that feels right for you, we will explore how old patterns once served you, and find a more balanced approach for today. Here, your identity, your past and tender parts of your experience will be accepted and cared for. With me, you won't get a blank face, but a partner in the work you want to do.

I currently see individuals and couples in my private practice. I previously served as a staff psychologist and clinical supervisor at The Motherhood Center's Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP).
