Dr. Aaron T. Beck - Founder of Cognitive Therapy
At New Wave CBT, we provide evidence-based therapy in Lynbrook, NY and surrounding communities to help individuals build meaningful, lasting change. We integrate both traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (CBT) and third-wave CBT approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, and mindfulness-based strategies. These modern therapies allow us to address not just thoughts and behaviors, but also emotional acceptance, values, and resilience.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely studied and effective forms of psychotherapy. It helps people understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence each other and teaches practical skills to reduce distress and improve overall functioning. CBT is goal-oriented, structured, and focused on helping you actively work through challenges while building coping strategies that last beyond therapy.
Over time, the CBT family has grown to include “third-wave” therapies like ACT and DBT, which add a focus on mindfulness, emotional acceptance, and values-driven living. These approaches are particularly helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or when life changes feel stuck. By combining traditional CBT and third-wave strategies, we tailor our approach to what works best for you—whether that means problem-solving, building resilience, or cultivating a healthier relationship with your emotions.
For clients with extensive emotion regulation issues or personality disorders, our sister program InsightDBT offers comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) services. InsightDBT specializes in helping individuals manage intense emotions, develop stability, and build the life they want to live.
Whether you’re facing specific symptoms or just feeling stuck, our compassionate team in Lynbrook, NY will help you develop tools to improve your well-being and move forward with purpose.
