About Us
Tzippora Wallach, Psy.D., Founder
I am a licensed clinical psychologist and certified school psychologist providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, eating disorders, personality disorders, self-injury, and life transitions across the lifespan.
My clinical approach is evidence-based and integrative, with advanced training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), couples therapy, and emerging specialization in sex therapy. I am Gottman Level Two trained for couples work and am currently pursuing certification through American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT).
In addition to my clinical work, I serve as an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and as an Executive Board member of Nefesh International. I am also the founder of the Adult DBT Program at Bikur Cholim of Rockland County and previously served as Director of Counseling and Guidance Services at Bruriah High School.
I earned my doctorate in combined clinical and school psychology from the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Yeshiva University. I completed intensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy at the Adolescent DBT Program at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, and advanced training with leading experts in the field. I later obtained certification in DBT for Children (DBT-C) in 2022.

I am a clinical psychologist with experience treating adults and children with a wide range of diagnoses including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Panic Disorder, Social Phobia, ADHD, Major Depressive Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).
I received my doctorate in Clinical Psychology with Health Emphasis from the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology. I have specific expertise in the relationship between mental and physical health, and I have authored several book chapters on the effects of cardiovascular disease on mental health. I strive to offer a warm, supportive environment for people to learn new ways of coping and promote growth and healing.
