Dr. Ori Shinar is a New York State licensed clinical psychologist who has extensive training in treating anxiety disorders (i.e. social anxiety, panic and obsessive compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety, specific phobias), mood and impulse control disorders which include trichotillomania, (the urge to pull body hair) skin picking, and nail biting. He works with individuals who also suffer from work productivity challenges including the effects of ADHD (ADD), procrastination, and stress/time management issues. Dr. Shinar offers over 20 years of specialty in cognitive behavior therapy, a time-limited, structured approach to assist people in better managing thoughts, behaviors and emotions that contribute to the issues affecting their life goals and successes.

Dr. Shinar’s practice also focuses on Parenting, Divorce, and Family Transitions. With specialized training in parent management training (PMT), Dr. Shinar helps educate and coach parents to change their child's problem behaviors using principles of learning theory and behavior modification. He provides Divorce Counseling to support individuals as they begin to create a new life for themselves. Pre and Post-divorce therapy helps you work through the emotional and practical difficulties that often come with going through a divorce.

During divorce, Dr. Shinar also serves as a Parent Coordinator for clients in the State of New York, acting as a neutral third party in the children’s best interest attempting to reach a fair compromise of the issues at hand. After the divorcing parents meet directly with their parent coordinator to outline the issues they have and their proposed resolution, Dr. Shinar will work with both parties to try to reach an agreement and advise the court.
