Dr. Wood is a clinical psychologist offering telehealth in New York and the 42 PSYPACT states. Educated at both UCLA and University of Washington, she has been in private practice for over 20 years and has served as a provider for Yale University employees since 2012. Dr. Wood offers early morning and evening slots (7am-7pm) to accommodate people who have busy work lives. She is happy to provide an initial free 20-min video consultation (message her to request).
Dr. Wood welcomes people from all ethnic and religious backgrounds and her practice is LGBTQIA+ friendly. She is down-to-earth, accepting, nonjudgmental, and respectful. Dr. Wood is warm and uses humor when appropriate, and her sessions are very interactive. Clients leave their therapy sessions with hands-on skills that can be used during life's most challenging moments.
Dr. Wood practices a scientifically-proven form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In ACT therapy, instead of trying to “get rid of” difficult thoughts and feelings, mindfulness skills are used to help clients stop their battle with thoughts and feelings. Clients find that when they are struggling less with their emotions, they feel better psychologically and are more present with their environments and with other people. Being human is, by definition, challenging. In therapy sessions, clients are guided in identifying their values and what sort of people they want to be. Clients are supported in taking values-based behavioral actions even in the presence of emotional discomfort. Many clients find the process of identifying their values to be illuminating and gratifying.
Dr. Wood has an excellent track record of helping clients live more enjoyable, meaningful, self-compassionate lives.
