Long Island Anxiety and OCD Specialist

Practice Owner & Licensed Psychologist

Dr. Rose Taveras

When you decide to start your journey with me, you’re not just signing up for sessions — you’re gaining a trusted partner in your healing process.

I’m a Long Island therapist specializing in therapy for anxiety, OCD, and perfectionism, helping you find peace, confidence, and balance.

At RIT Psychology in Roslyn, New York, my goal is to help you understand yourself better, manage anxious thoughts effectively, and create lasting change — all at your own pace.

A Personalized Approach to Therapy

When you begin therapy with me, you’ll have access to a full metaphorical toolbox of strategies designed to:

• Lessen anxiety and overthinking

• Improve your mood and daily functioning

• Build healthy habits and self-compassion

Because no two clients are the same, I use an integrative and holistic approach that blends:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

• Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

• Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT)

• Mindfulness & Meditation Practices

If something we try doesn’t click, that’s okay! I have plenty of other evidence-based tools for us to explore. Therapy should feel flexible, collaborative, and tailored to you.

Empowerment Through Collaboration

You’ll never feel pressured to make changes you’re not ready for. I believe in your autonomy. My role is to help you gain clarity about what’s working (and what’s not) in your life.

Through curiosity, reflection, and gentle accountability, we’ll work together to help you:

• Reduce anxiety and self-doubt

• Strengthen relationships

• Build emotional resilience

• Feel more confident and capable in everyday life

Therapy isn’t about fixing you — it’s about helping you reconnect with your strengths and values.

Real Understanding, Real Connection

You deserve an anxiety therapist who truly understands what you’re going through. As someone who has personally experienced anxiety and depression, I know how it feels to need both a safe space and a guide.

I bring not only professional expertise but also genuine empathy. You’ll find a therapy space filled with no judgment, unconditional support, and a sprinkle of humor — because healing can be meaningful and human.
