"Tory changed my life."
“I failed my board exams twice and spent thousands of dollars on tutoring and prep courses before trying CBT with Tory. I scheduled my last chance exam and met with Tory for about six weeks beforehand. She showed me how my anxiety was interfering with my test performance and taught me techniques for studying and relaxing during practice tests. On the third try, I finally passed my boards and it was because of CBT.”
“You know that feeling when you can’t find something you need and you search endlessly, looking everywhere but only finding the wrong things? That’s how finding a therapist in Manhattan feels. After having phone consultations with six different couples therapists, my wife and I finally found Tory. We instantly clicked with her direct, confident, and clear communication style. She was honest with us about what to expect from couples therapy and didn’t make us feel like she was trying to sell us something. What we got on the phone consult is exactly what we got when we met her in person. The things we learned in session saved our marriage during the pandemic.”
“Thank you for not giving up on me even when I wanted to give up on myself. Your patience, creativity, and expertise [with trauma] made the process bearable. I never thought I would be able to live a normal life after the accident, but you proved me wrong!”
“I can’t believe I didn’t learn about prolonged exposure therapy sooner. I wasted so much time over the years in talk therapy, rehashing my trauma before doing PE with Dr. Tomassetti. I finally have a normal life now and don’t feel like I need to go to therapy forever.”
“I’m so grateful for your therapy style. I’ve been to so many therapists over the years, and it never felt like the right fit until I started working with you. You’re really good at calling me out, but you know when to be supportive, too.”
“We are still using the techniques you taught us in couples therapy five years ago. It was the best investment we’ve ever made for our relationship.”
“I was afraid of the dentist—I hadn’t visited one in ten years. My friend recommended Dr. Tomassetti, and after two extended sessions with Dr. T, I was finally able to face my fear and scheduled a teeth cleaning.”
“We tried everything to help our teenage daughter after she was assaulted, but she seemed to be getting worse. Someone recommended that we try CBT for trauma, but there were no doctors in our area. We drove two hours each way to see Dr. Tomassetti for ten weeks. The treatment worked and we felt like we got our daughter back.”
“I’ve been taking sleep medication since my first child was born 30 years ago but eventually they stopped working. After doing CBT-I with Dr. Tomassetti I could finally sleep through the night without meds.”
“The single session phobia treatment last week was truly life-changing. Thank you!”
