BODA Therapy offers a new approach for preteens, adolescents, young adults, and families. Rooted in accessibility, engagement, and accountability, we facilitate experiential therapy and coaching through familiar, enjoyable activities that extend beyond traditional hour-long office sessions. We provide a structured accountability program to prevent backsliding and reinforce progress. We also design customized 3-to-5-night retreats in the Catskills, blending immersive outdoor experiences with therapy that is dynamic, meaningful, and often enjoyable. BODA Therapy aims to take clients outdoors, where exposure to nature has been clinically proven to improve mood, enhance concentration, and reduce stress. We strive to make therapy enjoyable while creating a blueprint for maintaining long-term well-being. When therapy becomes enjoyable, clients are more engaged and more invested in their own growth.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with years of experience in various settings, including university counseling centers (Baruch, NYU, Fordham), a psychiatric in-patient unit, a community outpatient clinic, and a rehabilitation hospital. I have an extensive experience working with young adults and adults coping with a wide range of mental disorders and life stressors (e.g., depression; anxiety; trauma; adjustment issues; acculturation issues; interpersonal difficulties; racial trauma). I utilize an integrative approach that synthesizes elements from various therapy models (e.g., psychodynamic, CBT, DBT). Through this approach, I will support you in gaining new in sights and meanings, building new skills, recognizing your incredible resilience, and breaking free from unhelpful patterns that may be holding you back. In our therapeutic journey together, my primary aim is to establish a profound sense of connection with you. Using this therapeutic alliance, I will gently yet firmly encourage you to confront your challenges, facilitating new experiences and understanding.

Are you a creative person with high aspirations experiencing procrastination, perfectionism, and a hostile inner critic? Do you want to feel more free in your work or your relationships? Do you feel anxious or depressed and want to obsess less and laugh more? We will think together to figure out why you feel stuck, and how you will transform. We will collaborate to your unique strengths, using an eclectic approach. I am a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist in the state of New York and received my Master's Degree from New York University in drama therapy. I completed post-graduate psychotherapy training at the Institute for Developmental Transformations, where I also served as Associate Training Director for three years. I worked at the School of Visual Arts as a psychotherapist and for 9 years worked at Bellevue Hospital in the department of psychiatry. I utilize empirically supported and embodied creative approaches to psychotherapy including Attachment Focused EMDR (completed levels 1 -3). I believe we should all be free to love who we love, to identify in whatever way feels most natural to us, and I am honored to hold space for anyone who is questioning what is "right" for them. I am fortunate to have worked with individuals from many continents. I strive to be aware of the power and privilege I have in the therapy space. I invite dialogue and play for exploring issues of cultural identity, race, class, trauma and abuse of power. I am an out-of-network provider for Wellfleet-Cigna (SVA, NYU, Cooper Union, Sarah Lawrence, etc.) and submit the paperwork on client's behalf.

I am a psychotherapist specializing in individual and couples’ therapy and maintain a full-time private practice in the financial district of Manhattan. After receiving my masters in mental health counseling from CUNY Brooklyn College I continued my training at The Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy (ICP) focusing on psychoanalytic theory and practice. I am currently working as a high-risk screener as well as a therapist for the LGBTQ+ affirmative treatment division within ICP. In addition to private practice work, I am conducting research identifying predictive factors for people leaving Orthodox Judaism and have presented at conferences on the topic of disaffiliation within Orthodox Judaism. I am currently pursuing my PhD at Adelphi University School of Social Work. My approach to therapy is primarily psychodynamic in nature. In my practice I take the time to listen closely to your needs and tailor our sessions to meet you where you currently are. Through our work together we will move towards greater understanding of your past and its impact on your life today, this depth of work allows for greater self acceptance and more control over the decisions you make in your life. Our sessions will be spent working to increase your self awareness while strengthening your capacity to fully engage with the world. Together we will expand your window of tolerance by unpacking the feelings and thoughts that bring you discomfort, leading to a more authentic and comprehensive experience of yourself.

You may look like you're holding it all together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or exhausted on the inside. Whether you're navigating anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, burnout, relationship challenges, or a major life transition, therapy can offer a space to slow down, gain clarity, and reconnect with yourself. I take a warm, relational, and trauma-informed approach to therapy, integrating mindfulness-based, somatic, CBT, DBT-informed, and psychodynamic perspectives. Together, we'll work through what brought you to therapy, while exploring the deeper patterns that shape how you relate to yourself, others, and the world around you. My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative space where insight and practical tools can help foster meaningful, lasting change. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the corporate and technology sectors, an experience that continues to inform my work with clients navigating career stress, burnout, perfectionism, identity shifts, and life transitions. I understand the pressures that can come with demanding professional environments and enjoy helping clients build more sustainable, values-aligned ways of living. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, OCD, depression, stress, self-esteem concerns, relationship difficulties, emotional regulation challenges, and major life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply looking to understand yourself better, I'd love to support you and provide a space for growth, healing, and deeper self-understanding.

Having moved countries multiple times, I deeply understand the stressors and challenges associated with settling into a new place, leaving behind friends, family, and pets. I can help you navigate these challenges and build meaningful connections and a fulfilling life. My primary focus is on adults who feel unfulfilled or trapped in a gilded cage and those who feel like they don't belong. When working with couples and individuals, my specialties include redistributing the mental load, fostering open communication, resolving conflicts, and reigniting intimacy. I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of my clients, always respecting their individuality and autonomy. I believe that even the most self-destructive behaviors originate from a place of protection. Let’s work together to reframe your relationships with yourself and others, transforming self-loathing and shame into understanding and kindness.

As a clinical social worker with five years of experience, I help youth, young adults, and families confidently navigate behavioral challenges, anxiety, and dysregulation, building the communication and confidence they need to handle whatever comes next. Trust is essential to a positive therapeutic relationship, and I'm committed to building that ethically with every patient I work with. I look forward to learning more about you and taking on day-to-day discomforts together – as a team! I specialize in behavioral and cognitive interventions, primarily using a Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) approach with elements of motivational interviewing and art therapy. This style is strength-based, concrete, and focused on problem-solving. Accountability, physical tools, and building healthy structure and routine are central to how I work, and I believe they are essential for growth. When working with me, you can expect a welcoming but intentional environment. I approach every patient with curiosity and a genuine intention to understand them. Collaboration drives my style: together, we'll focus on identifying what change matters most to you, and work toward the goals that move you closer to it. My path to becoming a therapist began with my own experiences in academic environments and my need for intervention due to dyslexia. After the support I received, I felt called to do the same for others, and I've brought that same desire to empower directly into my work. I enjoy pickling, playing frisbee, taking walks in the park, and spending time with friends and family.

I've had meaningful experience working with patients struggling with substance use, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. These challenges often overlap and can show up as feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or not quite like yourself. I focus on helping patients understand what they're experiencing, such as differentiating intrusive thoughts from more severe conditions, which often reduces fear and improves engagement in treatment. I also work well with individuals who feel stuck in cycles of rumination, avoidance, or emotional dysregulation, helping them build insight and develop more effective ways to cope and function day to day. I’m most passionate about making mental healthcare more approachable, especially for LGBTQ+ individuals and underserved communities who often face added barriers, stigma, or lack of access to care. I find it meaningful to create a space that feels safe, affirming, and non-judgmental, where people can be fully themselves. My hope is that you feel comfortable being honest, even about things that are hard to say, and that over time you gain a clearer understanding of yourself, feel more in control of your thoughts and emotions, and build confidence in navigating your life.

I have been in private practice for 20 years now, where I see many undergraduate and graduate students. The goal of my work with you is to help you make your life more fulfilling.

It will strengthen your capacity to negotiate relationships, to love, and feel more alive and connected. I respect your intelligence, and aim for us to be collaborators in the process of psychotherapy. I listen closely to you and share my questions and observations with you. I am a psychoanalyst certified by NYU, where I received four awards. I completed advanced training in couple's therapy (White Institute).

Couples therapy, immigration and acculturation, childhood trauma, creative and work blocks.

Our drive as therapists has always been to help others, and to help guide clients into finding their inner peace at a time when so many - and understandably so - have felt an intense amount of anxiety, sadness, and just an overall sense of emotional turmoil. We work through a lot of things with our clients: how to get unstuck, establishing boundaries, feeling more confident, and finding strategies to work through the anxiety and depression that plagues so many, to name a few. Most importantly however, we hope to be able to help you reclaim your own space in a world that demands you to be quiet. To be able to really live. Unapologetically. Bravely.

Welcome to Jocelyn Bibi Therapy! I approach the therapeutic relationship with collaboration at the forefront: no one person is the same, or needs the same things. You can expect me to be a thought partner and an ally; I am here to help guide you through challenges, setbacks and exploration in a safe, non-judgmental environment. I will work with you to connect with yourself in order to reach the goals we set together, or to feel empowered to be curious about who you are and where you are. In our sessions you will be in a safe, warm environment, free to look inside yourself and delve into the crux of what has been happening for you. I value connection wholeheartedly; I believe that in order for therapy to work the client and therapist need to have a strong, trusting working relationship. I am approachable and compassionate, and with a bit of humor, calmness and commitment to the work, I know we can help you achieve what you want to achieve.
