Theresa A Peca

I am a New York State licensed psychologist with over 30 years of experience. I have expanded my practice for clients in NY state to include video/phone sessions that are secure, confidential and HIPAA compliant. My counseling style is warm, positive, and interactive. I believe that you have everything within yourself to make the changes you’d like to make. Counseling is most effective when it is outcome-focused, and I will help you to define your goals in clear and observable ways. An essential part of the process is understanding thought patterns and beliefs, as they are the foundation for emotional and behavioral change. My interest in identity and self-esteem is second only to my passion for the treatment of anxiety-spectrum disorders such as panic, OCD, generalized anxiety, and agoraphobia. My treatment model incorporates what is known about the physiological and cognitive aspects of anxiety into my own conceptual framework that has developed through experience. One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is seeing the transformative power of self-awareness, positive thought, and hopefulness. This creates a foundation for goal-setting, change, and self-esteem. Learning where to focus and direct energy to produce results is empowering.
