Dr. Dunn's Approach
I provide a safe, open, and non-judgmental space for clients to achieve their goals. I know that therapy seem overwhelming and intimidating. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with existential, interpersonal, systemic, and cultural approaches to psychotherapy. I aim to understand your unique life circumstances, and support you as you confront and overcome obstacles that interfere with your goals. I utilize Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for clients with OCD, and evidence-based practices across a range of psychological difficulties (see below for a list of sample problems treated).
I bring my sense of humor and expertise in working with anxiety, perfectionism, OCD, depression, trauma, academic/work concerns, and many other psychological problems to my professional work. In treatment, I help clients identify and work toward their goals by utilizing principles of mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and other psychotherapeutic approaches.
As a researcher and author, I apply cutting edge research about what actually works in psychotherapy. I stay abreast of recent developments in the psychological literature, and regularly publish articles and present at local and national conferences. See below for my CV & sample articles.

About Dr. Dunn
I am a licensed psychologist in New Jersey (license # 5656) and New York (license # 019544), and a licensed telehealth provider in Florida (TTPY1567). I graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Spanish, and from The University of Maryland, College Park, with a Masters (MA) and Doctoral Degree (PhD) in Counseling Psychology. I genuinely care about my clients' wellbeing, and I am passionate about providing high quality psychological services.
I routinely support individuals with a range of life difficulties and relationship/social difficulties. I treat anxiety and depression/mood disorders, and I have specialized training in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) from the prestigious Behavioral Therapy Training Institute (BTTI). I am also trained in the Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children and Adolescents (UP-C and UP-A) developed by Dr. Jill Ehenreich-May. I also received training in 2022 from the Cognitive Behavioral Institute in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and I am also trained and certified in Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).
I have specialized training in treating for BFRBs like trichotillomania, and am a graduate of TLC's Virtual Professional Training Institute. I have a special interest in working with neurodiverse individuals, specifically those with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD).
I have over a decade of experience in higher education in University settings. I have various held academic appointments at Teachers College, Columbia University, Towson University, and St. Elizabeth University.
I have advanced clinical training and experience in hospitals (including Bellevue/ NYU Medical Center, Children's Hospital in DC, and the Baltimore VA), schools (ranging from pre-school to university settings), and private practice. My program of research has encompassed work/ life balance, coping, anxiety, depression, meaning in life, and other important psychological topics.
.I speak Spanish and underscore the importance of cultural sensitivity and competency in my work.
