About Dr. Owens

I'm a licensed psychologist in New York and a nationally Board Certified Behavioral and Cognitive Specialist.  I have been in clinical practice for almost 20 years and specialize in evidence-based therapies for anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, chronic stress and trauma.  

​​

I have also held clinical and leadership positions at Northwell Health Zucker Hillside Hospital and Cohen Children's Medical Center, Columbia University Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders and St. John's University Center for Psychological Services. I am especially passionate about training and supervising other clinicians in evidence-based therapies and am proud to host a clinical externship program for doctoral students in applied psychology at Anxiety Mastery LI which allows me to offer high quality specialized services to the community at a reduced fee, provided by advanced doctoral students under my close supervision.   

I believe good therapy is both compassionate and grounded in what actually works.  I am strongly committed to providing and training others in research backed therapy techniques that give individuals the tools they need to live their lives more fully and on their own terms instead of driven by fear and avoidance.
