Dr. Aliza Goldstein, Psy.D.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in OCD and anxiety disorders, practicing in Rockville Centre, NY and via telehealth across New York and New Jersey.

I specialize in OCD in part because I know firsthand how debilitating it can be, and how transformative the right treatment is. That experience shapes the way I work, with genuine understanding of what it feels like to be stuck, and real confidence that things can change.

My approach is warm, direct, and active. Sessions are not just about talking. We work together on practical skills and exposures that create real, measurable change. I take OCD seriously as a clinical problem, which means treatment is structured and purposeful. I also understand the courage it takes to show up and do this work.

I work with adults and older adolescents (17+) dealing with OCD, anxiety disorders, perfectionism, health anxiety, emetophobia, and maternal mental health concerns. For clients who need a more concentrated approach, I also offer OCD intensive therapy using high-frequency and extended ERP sessions.

Training & Credentials

I completed a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at CBT for Better Living, where I developed specialization in OCD and anxiety disorders. My predoctoral internship was completed at Northwell Health's Zucker Hillside Hospital, where I trained in maternal mental health and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

I received advanced training in Exposure and Response Prevention through the International OCD Foundation's Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI), one of the most rigorous OCD-specific training programs available.

I hold a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Yeshiva University and a B.A. from Yeshiva University's Stern College. I currently serve as an Adjunct Clinical Supervisor at Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, where I provide CBT supervision to doctoral students.
