Marilina Rufino

I am a bilingual New York State licensed psychologist, with a prior training and practicing license from Buenos Aires, Argentina. My training started as a psychoanalyst during my early career years at the University of Buenos Aires; has expanded to an applied behavioral methodologist in working with children with Autism, and has continued to widen in training within Dialectical Behavioral framework, and relational psychotherapy. My therapeutic approach is guided by the therapeutic alliance and its intricacies. From working with parent-child relationship problems to existential challenges, my approach is infused by a developmental and attachment based framework. I offer individual, dyadic, couples and group psychotherapy; as well as home-based consultations related to parenting difficulties and children’s challenging behaviors. Psychological assessments are offered as well depending on the referral need and presenting problem.
