Emily Rebenstock (she/her)

My name is Dr. Emily Rebenstock and I am a clinical psychologist (licensed in NY and NJ) who treats adolescents, adults and couples. I primarily work with individuals and couples who are struggling with aspects of their identity, navigating difficult life transitions, parenthood, and relationship challenges. My practice is trauma-informed and LBGTQ+ affirming. Additionally, I have specialized training in treating women and birthing-people with perinatal anxiety, depression, and OCD. My approach is warm, collaborative and insight-oriented.

I completed my post-doctoral fellowship at The Motherhood Center of New York, where 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, you are not alone, and therapy can help.

I also work with LGBTQIA+ individuals. I aim to create a therapeutic alliance in which you feel supported and safe enough to explore the varied and unique aspects of your identity, challenge the influences that are keeping you stuck, and gain a deeper understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and overall sense of self.

My therapeutic orientation is grounded in my belief that a strong therapeutic relationship is a meaningful part of the work we do. I integrate a variety of therapeutic approaches including relational psychotherapy, CBT, skills-based DBT, and trauma-processing while tailoring my interventions to target your specific goals. At a pace that feels right for you, we will explore underlying patterns to help you feel more supported, empowered, and intentional in your life and in your relationships.

I am currently a staff psychologist at The Motherhood Center's PHP and see individual and couples in my private practice. For more information about my practice, specialties or therapeutic approach, you can email me at dr.emilyrebenstock@gmail.com.
