Dr. Justin Dainer-Best

A key therapy goal is to help you to live a more fulfilling life. As a clinical psychologist, I specialize in work with depression, trauma, and anxiety. I have experience working with folks working through gender, sexuality, and relationship concerns. I also work with couples, especially queer couples. My goal is to help you to feel less suffering and to experience a more fulfilling life.

I see patients in video sessions, or in my office in Milan, NY. Please refer to my website for more information at https://justin.dainer-best.com/

In my clinical work, I use evidence-based practices like CBT and ACT for conditions such as major depressive disorder, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In my academic role as an associate professor of psychology at Bard College, I study and teach on the impacts of mood disorders, trauma, and depressive thought. (I do not usually see current Bard College students.)

I'm happy to discuss what you're looking for in a therapist. I look forward to helping you in a supportive environment. Satisfaction in therapy involves both of us. Together, we'll focus on the impacts of low mood, anxiety, low self esteem, or whatever is getting in the way of your life—and how to help you as a client to overcome these obstacles.
