Who We Are

NYC CBTp is the first ever private practice dedicated to providing evidence based cognitive behavioral therapy for people with psychosis and clinical high risk for psychosis in New York City. Such therapy has been freely available in Europe for a long time and the clinic's founder, Dr Sally E. Riggs, DClinPsy, ACT, has worked hard to bring it to the US. 
At NYC CBTp we take a normalizing approach to understanding psychosis. We believe experiences and beliefs commonly regarded as symptoms of psychosis are often highly understandable reactions to adverse life events. We avoid using labels, unhelpful diagnosis or judgment. Our primary aim is to help your loved one overcome their distress and achieve their goals, as well as develop ways of restoring autonomy and dignity, without shame or stigma. We work from a person centered, recovery oriented perspective, which means we do not believe that your loved one is sick, wrong, or bad. ​We provide a supportive and accepting therapeutic environment for all, regardless of ethnicity, religion, spiritual beliefs, sexual orientation or gender.

Family consultation 

Are you concerned for a loved one, who seems to be experiencing psychosis and you don't know how to help? Give us a call or schedule an appointment for individual therapy or a family consultation session. Due to the ongoing situation in the US with covid19 we are now offering one-off parent or family consultations by online therapy for people located anywhere in the US. In addition we would recommend this free online course for parents and families of people with psychosis, put together by the wonderful folks at Kings College, London, UK, and this free webinar presented by Dr. Kate Hardy, ClinPsychD in associated with NAMI on using CBT to support a loved one with psychosis.
