Uptown CBT, DBT, & Wellness Center

Hi! I’m Lisa Birnbaum. I’m a clinical social worker licensed in NY & have been in practice since 2009. I work with individuals, teams, & organizations; as well as with, couples, parents, & families. I’m inherently empathic, non-judgmental, & validating; & committed to changing (& helping others change!) the culture around workplace wellbeing. My training is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), & DBT-Prolonged Exposure (DBT-PE) for PTSD. I routinely teach skills targeting mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, dialectics, & psychological flexibility. Whether you are dealing with significant mental health concerns — or wanting to develop a set of thinking & behavioral skills that supports holistic wellbeing, resilience, & effectiveness in the workplace — I draw from these evidence-based treatments because of how well they work! Please reach out with any questions and I look forward to working with you!
