With advanced clinical training, our team provides personalized care in New Jersey, New York, & California.
Experts in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Change is not easy, and often the most difficult part is making the decision to seek help.
For many people, admitting that they need help is hard, but it is not a sign of weakness. It takes a great deal of courage to take this initial step.
As psychologists, we do everything in our power to ensure that our clients are given appropriate and evidence-based interventions to maximize positive change.
Advanced CBT Expertise for Complex Concerns
CBT Specialists is led by doctoral-level clinical psychologists with advanced certification in cognitive and behavioral therapy. Dr. Julie DiMatteo is board-certified in Behavioral and Cognitive Psychology through the American Board of Professional Psychology, while Dr. Cynthia Radnitz is a certified cognitive therapist through the Academy of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies.
These credentials represent training and evaluation beyond standard psychology licensure. Our clinicians understand not only how to deliver CBT techniques, but also how to identify the factors keeping symptoms going and adapt treatment for complex, longstanding, or treatment-resistant concerns.

Exposure and response prevention (ERP) and inference-based CBT (I-CBT) for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
