Dr. Tricia Park , NY Psychologist 015109

Dr. Tricia Park is a licensed New York psychologist (NY Psychologist 015109) who helps people regain direction, meaning, and a sense of wellness after pain, trauma, or mental health challenges. With 22 years of clinical experience and an early career that included about seven years as a professor, she transitioned to one-on-one work in private practice to focus on direct therapeutic care. Dr. Park guides clients in tracing the roots of present-day difficulties and in developing healthier self-perceptions and relationships, working collaboratively to address issues that interfere with daily functioning.

She approaches therapy with a nonjudgmental stance and allows clients to take the lead when that supports progress. Dr. Park uses an eclectic set of methods tailored to each referral and offers EMDR as a specific modality for processing trauma. She also has experience providing Christian counseling when that aligns with a client’s values. Throughout treatment she emphasizes respectful, careful handling of personal history while attending to what arises in the moment, aiming to create a working relationship where clients can examine both past influences and current concerns.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Dr. Tricia Park draws from several evidence-informed approaches that translate well to remote therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility by learning to notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed - it is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors - it is effective for depression, anxiety, and many everyday difficulties. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method for processing traumatic memories and reducing their ongoing impact, and Dr. Park offers EMDR as a trauma-focused option.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Park works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend techniques to fit individual situations.

Online therapy with Dr. Park can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and for how people prefer to communicate. These options make it easier to access consistent care from a licensed professional without sacrificing the collaborative, goal-focused work of in-person therapy.
