Meet Dr. Gladys Frankel

Clinical Psychologist

Dr. Frankel holds a doctorate in clinical psychology from Columbia University and training at New York University Medical Center and Dartmouth Medical Center. Dr. Frankel works with adults, adolescents, and couples, treating diverse challenges such as couple and family issues, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, stress management/resiliency, and self-esteem. Her goal is to help clients reach their full potential, peak performance, and brain fitness. 

Dr. Frankel comes from a place of compassion. Her warmth, patience, and clinical expertise provide a nurturing atmosphere where clients feel comfortable challenging the hurdles they face and reaching their full potential. She begins with a comprehensive assessment to personalize your treatment plan. Dr. Frankel reviews treatment options that incorporate short- and long-term objectives. She utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), mindfulness techniques, and positive intelligence, a mental fitness technique uniquely crafted for each client. Then, we periodically reassess and make recommendations based on your individualized goals.

Dr. Frankel has done extensive research and published in peer-reviewed journals on the subjects of eating disorders, emotional regulation, and trauma. Her commitment to research, practice, and teaching ensures that she implements cutting-edge solution-focused treatments. Her goal is to provide the highest quality of care, and clients often experience a reduction in symptoms and improved quality of life early on in therapy.
