Anthony Bracco

Please note: While I'm not personally accepting new clients at this time, I supervise 3 incredible clinicians at my group practice (Attune Psychotherapy) that have immediate openings. Feel free to inquire with me and we can explore who might be the best fit for you!

I’m a licensed psychotherapist who believes that growth begins with feeling understood and supported. I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work from New York University, with additional training in Child and Adolescent Mental Health.

In addition to my private practice, I work as a clinical researcher at NYU Langone, where I explore new approaches for PTSD and addiction. My clinical background spans hospitals and outpatient programs, where I’ve helped people navigate many stages of recovery. I have advanced training in eating-disorder treatment and extensive experience working with OCD, anxiety, depression, and a spectrum of life stressors. I often work with teens, young adults, and professionals navigating change, identity, and self-acceptance.

My approach is flexible and collaborative. I primarily draw from psychodynamic therapy to help clients explore patterns, beliefs, and emotions that shape their experiences, but I also integrate tools from CBT, DBT, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) when it’s helpful. I like to balance insight with challenge, helping you understand what’s holding you back while building the skills and confidence to move forward.

The first session is about connection and curiosity. We'll review what has brought you to therapy, what you hope to get out of your sessions, and what has (or hasn’t!) helped before. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out; we’ll start by just talking and getting to know each other. My hope is that you’ll leave feeling a little more grounded, a little more understood, and ready to start our work together.
