Ihab Shehata

Hello and welcome! I My name is Ihab Shehata and I’m a board-certified psychotherapist in New York. I completed B.S in psychology in 1994, Masters in Clinical Social work in 2008 and recently completed post-masters certificate program in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I’m also certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and trained in logotherapy.

I believe that human behavior is too complicated to be explained by one theory or advanced by just one model. And that is why I utilize customized balanced eclectic approach when providing therapy to my clients. Some of the approaches I use in my practice include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing, psychoanalysis, psychodynamics, and problem solving. I strife to assist my clients in resolving current problematic behaviors or emotions they are struggling with, improve their coping techniques, gain insight into themselves, improve their self-awareness, enhance their self-esteem and self-growth and find meaning and purpose in life.

I hope I will be able to assist you in your therapeutic journey. Whether you are looking for help with depression, anxiety, PTSD, mood swings, anger management, frustration tolerance, improving self-awareness, personal growth, I will provide you with a customized balanced eclectic approach that will meet your needs and help you reach your goals.
