Dr. Benjamin Glueck

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist and faculty member at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and I specialize in evidence-based treatments that are practical and skills-focused. I work with children, teens, adults, and families.

My approach is active and collaborative. I'll help you understand what's keeping you stuck, and we'll work on concrete skills you can use between sessions. I'm intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), including DBT for adults, children and adolescents. I use it to help people manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive or self-destructive behaviors, and build steadier relationships. I also treat OCD with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which is the gold-standard treatment. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety and depression.

For parents, I'm certified in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and trained in Parent Management Training (PMT). Both give you effective tools for managing challenging behavior and strengthening your relationship with your child.

I believe therapy works best when you feel understood and also feel like you're making real progress. I'll be warm and direct with you, and we'll track how things are changing so you know the work is paying off.

My approach to therapy is built on a simple belief: meaningful change happens when you feel genuinely understood and supported, not judged. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, or trauma, I'm here to help you develop real, practical tools that work in your actual life. I specialize in evidence-based treatments like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)—approaches with strong research backing. I'm intensively trained in DBT across the lifespan and have been a member of several DBT Teams and certified in PCIT.

In our first session, we'll focus on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to treatment. I'll ask about your background, current challenges, and what you're hoping to accomplish through therapy. Together, we'll discuss your treatment needs and develop a collaborative plan for how we can best support you moving forward. This session is primarily about listening, learning, and building a foundation for our work together.
