Professional statement

Dr. Mushkat is a licensed psychologist in Providence, Rhode Island who offers in-person and virtual therapy sessions. She received her PhD in clinical psychology from the University of Rhode Island. She completed her residency in health psychology at Jesse Brown VA Medical Center and her fellowship at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. Prior to pursuing private practice, Zoe served as a psychologist in Primary Care Behavioral Health at the Providence VA.

Zoe treats emotional and behavioral concerns, often within the context of medical issues or conditions. Her practice emphasizes the deep connection between our emotional wellbeing and physical health. Her areas of practice include (but are not limited to) depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, somatic disorders (i.e. health anxiety), and health-related issues such as adjustment to a diagnosis, tinnitus, diabetes, or chronic pain. She also helps individuals seeking to improve their health behaviors and lifestyle, such as nicotine cessation, mild substance abuse/misuse, weight management, and exercise habits.

Zoe’s therapeutic orientation is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and integrates Acceptance and Commitment therapy, existential therapies, motivational interviewing, and health behavior change.

You deserve a therapeutic experience that meets you where you are, helping you move forward with resilience, confidence, and wellbeing. Let’s work together to support your health - inside and out.
