Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in New York

You know something needs to change. Maybe you have carried a quiet sense for a while that something is not quite right. On the outside, you are capable and accomplished. On the inside, there may be anxiety, self-doubt, or a persistent feeling of not being good enough. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with nearly 20 years of experience working with adults. I believe change is possible. Together, we clarify what is keeping you stuck and move in a focused, collaborative way toward a more confident, values-driven life. I specialize in working with thoughtful, driven adults who feel stuck in anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, and depression. Using CBT, we look closely at the patterns between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and work in a focused, collaborative way to shift them, so you can move through life with more flexibility, confidence, self-trust, and joy. Clients often share that they feel understood, gently challenged, and supported in ways that make meaningful change feel possible. If you’re ready to take a thoughtful, steady look at what’s keeping you stuck, I invite you to reach out. We can begin working toward changes that feel real and lasting.

I’m Dr. Michael Tom — Harvard- and Columbia-trained, board-certified in both Psychiatry and Community & Public Psychiatry. I’ve worked with clients who seem to have it all together on the outside but feel stressed, anxious, or disconnected on the inside. I’ve been there, and I know how exhausting it can feel to keep pushing forward without relief. My approach is grounded in experience and compassion. I provide a supportive space to help you make sense of the stress, understand your patterns, and develop strategies that truly work for your life. I am also a contributing author to the American Psychiatric Association's practice guidelines, so I bring a broad perspective and up-to-date knowledge to every session. Your goals: sleep that restores, focus that lasts, stronger relationships, and a career that's part of, but not all, of a meaningful life. I offer confidential therapy with or without medication management. We work on a plan that fits your schedule and the life you want, so you can get back to feeling like yourself.

I see all patients exclusively via telehealth at this time.  I am dedicated to helping my patients develop a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships, and their strengths and helping them understand and discover what drives their actions and behaviors. I take pride in providing high-quality, compassionate, empirically-based care rooted in my extensive doctoral education and extensive ongoing professional development.  Services Offered My experience has equipped me to provide an array of mental health services tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs. These services include individual therapy, couples therapy, psychological assessments—specializing in ADHD—vocational and career assessments, as well as sports psychology and performance enhancement for high-performers, including C-Suite executives, athletes, artists, and medical professionals.   Individual Therapy: I work with adults and adolescents experiencing various challenges, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, phobias, eating disorders, body image issues, internet and social media addictions, relationship and interpersonal difficulties, obsessions, compulsions, perfectionism, burnout, insomnia, and other psychological presentations within the human experience. I also support individuals navigating life transitions, communication challenges, attachment difficulties, relational concerns, and complex family dynamics.

My extensive training spans various therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy, as well as cognitive-behavioral treatments like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based CBT (MB-CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and manualized treatments for insomnia, phobias, and PTSD. I also enjoy incorporating Positive Psychology, Interpersonal/Relational Therapy, Existential-Humanistic Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to support meaningful change. I approach mental health from a holistic perspective, recognizing the interconnectedness of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual facets. I am committed to providing a compassionate listening space where you are invited to reflect and explore yourself, understanding your deepest challenges and strengths. Through patient listening, reflecting, shared inquiry, and various evidence based interventions, I strive to help you become more aware of your patterns and thoughts, fostering greater self-understanding and clarity. My goal is to support you in making meaningful and skillful choices that align with your true self.  My Therapeutic Style My approach to mental health, in general, is characterized by an accepting and caring environment that is collaborative in nature. I am authentic, down-to-earth, intentional, and spontaneous in session, which lends itself to a truly collaborative and growth-promoting experience. Therapy with me is a collaborative, action-oriented process providing you the opportunity to foster new perspectives, discover your inherent worth, tap into your inner resources, and develop your capacity for resilience and new skills. I enjoy working from a holistic yet evidence-based approach.  I show up authentically for each patient, and I value transparency and provide my full presence. Patients who work with me can expect to explore feelings, beliefs, and behaviors, understand memories, process destructive relationships, and identify dysfunction, which will lead to a better understanding of themselves and others. During therapy, there is an ongoing effort to develop effective coping skills, decrease emotional distress, improve functioning, and resolve symptoms and problems. Each therapy session is a balance of meeting your present needs and long-term goals. Collaboratively, we will deepen your understanding of yourself your reactions to various emotions and, increase your psychological flexibility and create new perspectives.  My Wishes for You I wish you a life full of love, happiness, fulfillment and health. I am committed to helping you build and find it! It is my greatest honor to accompany my patients on their journey toward deeper self-awareness, growth, the emergence from suffering while becoming a meaningful part of my patient’s lives. Warmly, Dr. Tania
