About Dr. Tory Tomasetti

Dr. Tomassetti is a licensed psychologist specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for anxiety, trauma, insomnia, and marital/couple distress. As a private practice psychologist, she is focused on providing highly individualized, evidence-based care to individuals, couples, and families in New York and Louisiana*.

Prior to opening her own practice in lower Manhattan, Dr. Tomassetti worked alongside top providers in the field, first in New Orleans, and then in New York City. In New Orleans, she was a staff psychologist and served as the Associate Clinical Director of the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Center of New Orleans. It was at CBT NOLA that Dr. Tomassetti refined her expertise in the assessment and behavioral treatment of individuals, couples, and families in a private practice setting. Later, she returned to the northeast, where she continued working with leaders in the field of CBT before launching her own private practice.

Dr. Tomassetti offers short-term therapies for conditions such as generalized anxiety, specific phobias, and insomnia, alongside more intensive therapies for conditions such as trauma-related disorders, OCD, and couples’ distress. Her approach to therapy is informed by her research experience, adherence to evidence-based treatments, and a focus on clients’ strengths and resiliency.

*Dr. Tomassetti is licensed in both New York and Louisiana and is available to serve clients in both states via secure, HIPAA-compliant teletherapy.

Tory Tomassetti graduated summa cum laude from Wilkes University prior to earning her Ph.D. in counseling psychology. She completed an APA-accredited internship and postdoctoral fellowship at the New Orleans VA, where she specialized in the assessment and treatment of anxiety and trauma-related disorders. In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Tomassetti was the lead researcher in a trial which examined the effects of a novel intervention for persons with chronic sleep disturbance. Her research has been published in an APA journal and presented at regional, national, and international conferences.

What is it like to work with me?

Over the past decade, I’ve asked many clients to provide feedback on their therapy experience with me. Consistently, clients have appreciated my straightforward style that balances compassion with irreverence. I view therapy as a collaborative process: you are the expert in your experience, and I’m the expert in the process of helping you achieve your goals.

READ WHAT PAST CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY...
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
