Dr. Nikol Stancato

Hello, I am a NY state licensed clinical psychologist. I received my Doctorate of Psychology from the Arizona School of Professional Psychology and earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology from Illinois State University. In my practice, I work with clients 13 years or older who are experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship, and other emotional challenges. My other areas of expertise include: anger management, crisis management, trauma, bipolar disorder, and psychotic disorders.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is paramount for treatment to be successful. I aim to create a safe, collaborative, and supportive environment to get to know you and develop our alliance. I join you on your life path with empathy and understanding. We work together to move you forward in your health and wellness. Some modalities I use in my work include, Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Trauma-Focused, and Strength-Based Practices.

During our work together, you will be able to express yourself in a non-judgmental space. We will collaborate to establish goals during the course of treatment, such as developing coping skills, gaining insight into feelings, and attaining an overall sense of wellness. I will guide you in the direction you want go and help you recognize your strengths and achievements; therefore, using them to foster your growth.
