Serving New York City patients since 1988, Behavioral Associates is a mental health practice located at 1619 3rd Avenue, Suite 202, New York, NY 10128. The practice is founded and directed by Dr. Robert Reiner, PhD, BCN, BCB, who serves as Executive Director and personally meets with each new patient during the initial consultation to complete assessment and match the patient to the appropriate treatment approach. The practice also includes a Children’s Center dedicated to clients ages 4 through 17, directed by Dr. Heather Davidson.
Treatment modalities offered span a broad clinical range and include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, couples and family therapy, group therapy, biofeedback, neurofeedback, Virtual Reality Therapy (VRT), QEEG brain mapping, and Vielight Photobiomodulation.
