DBT Associates of Nyack

“My 15 year old has been attending DBT Associates for over 2 years now and I can see a tremendous improvement in how they handle their anxiety and depression and cope with day to day life. Where there was once a major issue with school attendance and overall social anxiety, there is now a re-emergence of self confidence thanks to the one on one therapy sessions and the weekly adolescent group therapy. In the beginning, they could not handle in person sessions and even the remote group sessions were a problem. Now, after the past 2 years of consistent counseling, group meetings are actually looked forward to...I am very grateful for DBT Associates of Nyack for helping my child address and cope with their mental health issues. I would highly recommend their services.”

“From the start, this place was a big green flag. The intake, which is often a dreaded and robotic process, had quickly turned into a conversation -- I was discussing my history with mental health, not reciting it. I have never been spoken down to here, only spoken with. Since beginning over two years ago, my life has only improved and become more manageable. They are effective at teaching and practicing under the guidance of DBT skills; I've ingrained and applied them in my own life countless times. The team is willing to both challenge thoughts, as well as provide a validating and humanistic experience. I would certainly recommend this place to others seeking help, especially teens and young adults.”

“I have nothing but tremendous gratitude for Dr. Kathy Kupperman and Jami Shumake founder. They were absolutely amazing with my teen daughter and helping her manage her Anxiety and teaching her skills to deal with anxiety.Their professionalism and care for her were unmatched. I would highly recommend them to anyone.”

“I went there a while ago and Jamie is absolutely fantastic. I never had a therapist as good as Jamie. I didn’t like the way the group was run. I felt like it was all over the place and they don’t take insurance, but Jamie is a kind, caring man and extremely smartand I wish I could see him again.”
