Dana Anderson, PhD
drdana@andersonpsychassoc.com
Licensed Psychologist
Because every individual is unique and has his/her own story and goals, therapy must be custom tailored to the individual. I have training and experience in multiple therapeutic approaches including: cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic psychotherapy and will create a personalized treatment plan with you. A strong emphasis during my graduate training was on multiculturalism and multicultural competence, thus making me more aware and increasing my understanding of the key roles that a client’s culture, identity, ethnicity, race, gender, and other aspects of diversity play in the counseling process. Through both my training and my practice, I have learned culturally-competent counseling practices and the current theoretical approaches necessary to engage a diverse clientele. I aim to identify specific goals while being sensitive to ethnic/cultural/religious beliefs and values as well as sexual identity. Treatment will be collaborative - you will be treated with professionalism and respect.
I earned a BA in mathematics and a BA in music from the University of Pennsylvania. Then, I obtained an MA and EdM from Columbia University in Counseling Psychology. I completed my PhD in Clinical Psychology at St. John's University. All of my internships and postdoctoral experience was completed in New York/New Jersey. I have experience in a variety of settings including state hospital adult inpatient psychiatric units (Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital), private hospital adult inpatient psychiatric units (Northshore/Long Island Jewish Hospital-Zucker Hillside Hospital), a child/adolescent inpatient psychiatric unit (Hoboken University Children's Crisis Unit), community mental health center, college counseling center (St. John's University Center for Counseling and Consultation), subacute rehabilitation nursing home setting (traumatic brain injuries, stroke, acquired brain injuries at Park Terrace Care Center), and inpatient private hospital rehabilitation setting (traumatic brain injuries, coma patients, acquired brain injuries, medically complex conditions at Mount Sinai Medical Center Rehabilitation Department, Mount Sinai Brain Injury Research Center, and Jamaica Hospital). In addition, prior to earning my doctoral degree, I served as a guidance counselor at the middle school and high school levels, providing me with experience working with parents, families, and educators.
