Professional statement

Dr. Judy Rachael Silberkleit is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 25 years of experience. She is also a Certified Life Coach.

As a Psychologist, she has provided psychological services to adults experiencing generalized anxiety, panic disorder and panic attacks, social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, relationship difficulties, stress, and life transitions such as divorce. She offers a collaborative and thoughtful therapeutic process grounded in strong clinical training and a genuine therapeutic relationship.

Dr. Silberkleit places particular emphasis on rapport, trust, and open dialogue. She creates a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients feel comfortable addressing difficult issues honestly. She works actively with clients to identify patterns that contribute to distress and to develop practical, realistic strategies for change. Her approach integrates cognitive-behavioral principles with insight and structured problem solving, including strengthening motivation for behavioral goals such as exercise and health-related routines.

In addition to treating anxiety and mood disorders, she works with clients on self-esteem, assertiveness, dating and relationship challenges, co-parenting, and rebuilding after divorce.

Dr. Silberkleit completed her Postdoctoral Fellowship at Yale University School of Medicine / Yale Psychiatric Hospital and her Internship at the Yale / West Haven VA Medical Center. She holds degrees in Psychology from New York University. She is licensed in Connecticut and New York and holds PsyPact authorization to provide telehealth services in 40 participating states.

In addition to her clinical practice, she offers Life Coaching as a separate, private-pay service focused on starting over after divorce, dating and relationship issues, working through anxious attachment patterns, strengthening follow-through with personal and exercise goals, and building clarity and confidence in a new chapter of life.

Dr. Silberkleit is a member of the Psi Chi Honor Society and was an NYU Trustee Scholar. On a personal note, she has long supported Special Olympics and dog rescue groups.

Therapist's note

Please note that I only directly take insurance for those who live in Connecticut where I hold my primary license. I am able to speak with people who live in New York as I am licensed in New York. Please your insurance for out of network benefits. I am a PSYPACT licensed telehealth provider able to speak to anyone living in a PSYPACT state . For Life Coaching services I'm able to speak to anyone throughout the US, but it is private pay only not covered by insurance. Thank you for your interest.
