Cyrano Patton(They/Them/Theirs)

Dr. Cyrano Patton is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, professor, and research director based in New York City and focused on helping adolescents and adults to live their best, most fulfilled lives. To achieve this, Dr. Patton works collaboratively with clients on a variety of goals, or even to develop goals for therapy in the first place.

Therapy sessions with Dr. Patton are personalized based on your desired style and experiences. An insight-oriented psychodynamic style can help us understand ourselves more deeply, including our emotions, our motivation, what brings us meaning in life, and how to center it. A skills-based Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) style can help us gain equilibrium with an emotional and interpersonal coping toolkit, alongside nonjudgmental mindfulness skills to both change and accept ourselves and our realities. Dr. Patton often blends these two: a relational psychodynamic approach that honors how our experiences and identities shape our values, patterns, and beliefs, with concrete DBT tips and skills to better understand our emotions, brain, identity, and relationships. This integrative approach has helped many clients find their footing in the life they craved, even people who have been let down by therapy in the past.

Having trained in five different hospitals and three different counseling centers across the country, Dr. Patton built a wealth of experience with diverse populations, and welcomes clients with any gender, sexual, ethnic, relationship, religious, or dis/ability identity.

In addition to in-person options, Dr. Patton offers the convenience of remote sessions to keep therapy accessible to you no matter where in New York you reside or work.
