Individual therapy supports your journey toward reinvention, healing and self-discovery. In a safe, non-judgmental space, you and your therapist work together to understand what you’re facing and build the tools to move forward.
Who it’s for
- Anxiety, panic and chronic stress
- Depression and low mood
- Trauma and difficult life experiences
- Self-esteem, identity and life transitions
- Grief, relationships and work or family pressure
Our approach
Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), we focus on practical, evidence-based skills — not just talking, but real change you can feel between sessions. Therapy is a journey we take together, one step at a time.
Why choose Compadre Therapy?
- Evidence-based care — we draw on CBT, DBT and REBT, matched to your goals rather than a one-size-fits-all script.

- Bronx-based & bilingual — two convenient locations (Westchester Square & Wakefield) with care offered in English and Spanish.
