Tamara Jacobs Sussman

Hello, I’m Tamara Sussman, a licensed clinical psychologist in New York City. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment where we can explore the areas of life that you want to improve. My approach is goal-oriented. Once we have identified areas for work, we will work together to help you build tools that you can use in your day-to-day life to make positive changes. I provide cognitive-behavioral, evidence-based treatments for a wide range of disorders and problems including anxiety, trauma-related issues, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and depression. More specifically, I provide exposure therapy for anxiety, cognitive processing therapy (CPT) and prolonged exposure therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and exposure and response prevention for OCD. I strongly believe in taking into account family and cultural context, and working towards improving overall well-being. I received my bachelor’s degree from Yale University, and my PhD from Stony Brook University. I completed my internship at Rutgers University Counseling Center (CAPS), where I received specialized training in trauma treatment. In addition to providing clinical care, I conduct clinical neuroscience research as a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University.
