About Me

Hi, I’m Dr. Emily Kaiser

Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice in New York and New Jersey. I offer evidence-based psychotherapy for anxiety, trauma, and chronic pain.

As a therapist, I tend to emphasize “third-wave” cognitive-behavioral therapies, including acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy. I tailor my style to your individual needs and ground my approach in the most up-to-date scientific evidence for effective psychotherapy. Therapy with me is incredibly collaborative, where we work together to determine the best options for your care.
