Dr. Cyrano Patton

You can call me Cy. I’m a Licensed Psychologist, professor, and research director based in New York City. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology with a specialty in emotional and interpersonal regulation - understanding and organizing our emotions and relationships - cultivated from training in five hospitals, three university counseling centers, and years of conducting neuropsychological reserch.

I welcome clients with any gender, sexual, ethnic, relationship, religious, and ability identity.

Therapy with me typically blends:

• a relational, insight-based psychodynamic approach that honors how our experiences and identities shape our values, beliefs, and patterns.
• concrete Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tips and skills to better understand our emotions, brain, identity, and relationships.

This integrative approach has helped many clients start the path to their most fulfilled life, even people who have been let down by therapy in the past.

Feeling stuck, seeking a change, or wanting to understand something more deeply are some signs I could be helpful to you. Let's figure out what's getting in your way, and how to get through or around it. I work collaboratively with adolescents and adults on a variety of goals, or even to develop goals for therapy in the first place.

However much you know about what you want from therapy, I'd be delighted to support you on your therapy journey.
