Testimonials from real clients and clinicians

What real clients are saying about CBT / EMDR Associates of New York

  • "I don't even know where to begin. I am forever grateful for Dr. Whitfield and his service. His continued support, understanding, and reassurance was monumental in my journey of healing and self acceptance. I would not be where I am today without his guidance. While it was a rollercoaster of emotion over the course of 6 months, it was well worth it to come out on the other side. Dr. Whitfield not only provided top notch service during our weekly sessions, he had me work on various exercises outside of our 1:1s and held me accountable to it. He was a sounding board when I reached out outside of our scheduled sessions and provided me with the tools I continue to use today. It is evident how much he actually cares about his patients and makes sure to follow up and check in. I can't say enough positive things about my experience with Dr. Whitfield. He's the best!"

  • "Dr. Whitfield is great if you're looking for someone to chat with through a problem and learn how to handle situations better on your own. I saw Dr. Whitfield for a year or two and he provided me with tools that I still refer to whenever I find myself in anxious thought cycles or situations. Highly recommend!"

  • "Dr. Whitfield helped me tremendously navigate some of most major life transitions in recent years including a breakup, career pivot, and move. He is a true professional, has a calm / patient demeanor, and does the hard work to make sure that he's always prepared to talk about the most important topics, keeping in mind things I previously shared."

  • "Dr. Whitfield leads with empathy to help you understand behaviors and actions. My former partner and I (both gay males in our 30’s) worked through couples therapy where Dr. Whitfield skillfully identified root causes of our impasse. He approaches situations with care and open ears to facilitate productive discussions. My partner and I both agreed that Dr. Whitfield’s methodical process and person-ability differentiated him from other therapists we interviewed. Most critically, Dr. Whitfield constructively challenges you to work introspectively between sessions. This re-established the connection to our emotional and mental health. Regardless of the outcome, the tools Dr. Whitfield equips you with the confidence to process situations in the moment and move forward."
