Dr. Tiffany Haick

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with an independent private practice in NYC specializing in individual therapy for young adults, adults and adolescents ages 16 and up. Raised in New York City, I hold a PhD from The New School for Social Research and a BA in Psychology from Lafayette College. I worked for several years in the Division of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry at Columbia University and completed my pre- and post-doctoral training at the James J. Peters & NY Harbor VA Medical Centers. I have extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Through the application of these evidence-based treatments, I work with clients to better understand and resolve the specific barriers that are keeping them from leading healthier, happier lives.
