Elliot specializes in the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other trauma-related challenges, offering personalized, evidence-based approaches to help clients heal and overcome the impact of traumatic experiences on their lives. In addition to trauma, he uses Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, panic, phobias, OCD, anger management, relationship difficulties, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, and self-harm.  

Elliot is Board Certified in Behavioral & Cognitive Psychology by the American Board of Professional Psychology and a DBT-Linehan Board of Certification, Certified Clinician™. He also co-authored Self-Directed DBT Skills, a practical and accessible DBT skills workbook designed to help individuals apply these techniques in their daily lives.  

Beyond his work in private practice, Elliot has presented research on trauma and PTSD at international conferences, provided seminars on PTSD treatment for other mental health professionals, and supervised psychology graduate students and psychiatry residents in CBT and DBT at several doctoral programs and medical schools in New York.  

Born and raised in the Bronx, Elliot completed his Ph.D. at Fordham University before heading to the Honolulu VA Medical Center and the National Center for PTSD for his residency—an actual program, not just an excuse to move to Hawaii (he promises!). He is a licensed psychologist in New York and Connecticut and can provide telehealth services in any PSYPACT-participating state. In addition to our NYC office, Elliot also sees clients at his office in Greenwich, CT, and via Zoom.
