Fort Lee Therapists specializing in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Deanna Aliperti

I blend a variety of therapeutic techniques—EMDR, CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic therapy—with a touch of humor— to create a dynamic, personalized approach to healing.

At the end of the day, you are the master of your own experience!
