Dr. Julia Buckley

I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years of experience in the field of mental health. I received my Doctorate in Psychology from Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology. I completed my pre-doctoral internship at the Manhattan VA and my post-doctoral fellowship at the James J. Peters VA Medical Center in the Bronx, NY. In addition to my private practice, I hold appointments at the Manhattan VA and as a Clinical Assistant Professor at NYU School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry.

I mainly approach treatment from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) perspective. I have specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression (CBT-D), Problem Solving Therapy (PST), and Behavioral Activation (BA). I am also trained in EMDR, Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Depression (IPT-D), and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).

I focus on connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and helping an individual to make changes to unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. I may also incorporate other modalities and techniques to meet the unique needs of each individual, including mindfulness and acceptance principles. I aim to help an individual become ‘unstuck’ by facilitating one’s own healing and growth.
