Bryant West Psychology

Welcome! I’m a licensed clinical psychologist available both in-person in Midtown West and virtually throughout New York State. I offer individual psychotherapy to adults (18+) and couples therapy for those in traditional and non-traditional relationship arrangements. Whether you’re seeking therapy for a clear reason (e.g., depression, anxiety, trauma, a major life transition, work, family, or relationship stress) or you’re just generally feeling stuck, lost, uncertain, or that something is “off,” I would be honored to help guide you back to feeling more easeful, authentic, and aligned. I have accompanied adults of all ages and identities through a wide range of emotional challenges, though I have specialized training in eating and body image concerns, gender-affirming care, couples therapy, and young adult mental health. I integrate evidence-based and relational psychotherapy approaches. I have foundational training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which means I may offer specific ways to help you manage intense emotional distress, navigate relationships, explore your values, and shift day-to-day behaviors. I have additional training in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapies, which informs how we can explore your current and past relationships with your family, friends, partners, and community, as well as our relationship. Reflecting on these patterns can lead to a richer, more nuanced understanding of your inner world over time. Liberatory care philosophies underlie my psychotherapy approach. All my work is trauma-informed and guided by feminist, fat positive (i.e., Health at Every Size), sex positive, queer-, kink-, and nonmonogamy-affirming principles. I earned my PhD in clinical psychology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I then completed my clinical internship in community mental health at Maimonides Medical Center and my postdoctoral clinical fellowship at the Pratt Institute Counseling Center. I have worked across outpatient, partial hospital, and inpatient clinical settings. It would be an honor to accompany you through this next season of your life. Please reach out if you feel we might be a good fit!
