Professional statement

Dr. Laura Cyran is a Licensed Psychologist with a private practice in Westchester County, NY, where she welcomes adolescents and adults who are seeking to create change in their lives. Many of her clients bring in emotional pain and struggle, whether the symptoms of anxiety are taking a daily toll or doubt and self-criticism are impacting performance at work. Dr. Cyran is particularly sensitive to struggles of perfectionism, procrastination, and high-pressure settings. Together, she helps clients find creative ways to face fears, test beliefs and assumptions, learn new skills, replace unhelpful habits, re-engage with what is meaningful for them, and move forward toward their goals and values.

Therapy sessions with Dr. Cyran integrate cognitive-behavioral (CBT) and acceptance and commitment (ACT) based approaches. She gently challenges clients to grow mindful of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to identify areas to intervene, learn skills, and reduce emotional pain. Dr. Cyran approaches clients with curiosity, flexibility, and acceptance, and encourages clients to approach themselves and the world in the same way. Her overarching goal for all clients is to help them be present, do what matters, and remain open and flexible.

Dr. Cyran is committed to maintaining an inclusive, safe, affirming practice.

Message to clients

If you struggle with frequent "what if" thoughts, intrusive thoughts, or feeling like you are always trying to manage or control your anxiety, I want you to know that relief is possible. I specialize in working with teens and adults with generalized anxiety, social anxiety, perfectionism, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic attacks, procrastination, and high-pressure academic or occupational environments. My guess is that if you struggle with these, you have been working very hard to feel better. I would love to work with you to develop new, evidence-backed strategies to respond to your anxiety and find relief.

I also specialize in helping adolescents and adults with body-focused repetitive behaviors like skin-picking (excoriation) or hair-pulling (trichotillomania). While these behaviors are normal to a degree, they can sometimes feel out of control & lead to unwanted cosmetic, emotional, and social effects. I offer specialized, evidence-backed treatment for this.

Let's talk about what this might look like for you or your teen. I have openings for telehealth clients and offer a free 15-min phone or zoom consultation if you think my approach might be a good fit.
