MELAND-LEWIS

I am a New York State Licensed Psychologist. My theoretical background is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. As a cognitive behavioral psychologist, I form a therapeutic partnership with my clients to determine what their goals are, and how best to achieve these goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a form of therapy whose tenet is that our thoughts cause both our feelings and our behaviors. This is an important concept because we can change the way we think so as to feel and act better, even when our external situations do not change... My goal is to help people focus on the positive emotions, strengths, and virtues that will help them to live happy, fulfilling and meaningful lives.
