Shoshana Richter, Psy.D.

Dr. Shoshana Richter is a clinical psychologist and postdoctoral fellow with specialized expertise in the treatment of children, adolescents, young adults, and couples. She works with clients facing a wide range of challenges, including mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, adjustment difficulties, neurodevelopmental conditions, and relationship concerns.

With clinical experience across diverse settings—including school systems, hospitals, and outpatient clinics—Dr. Richter is skilled at assessing and treating varying levels of emotional and behavioral issues. She completed her internship at Lincoln Hospital, where she received extensive training in evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mentalization-Based Treatment for Children (MBT-C), as well as family and parent support models. Dr. Richter is also trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which she uses to help couples build stronger, more resilient relationships. Additionally, she is adept in short-term crisis intervention, providing immediate support for clients in acute distress.

Dr. Richter’s therapeutic approach centers on building a trusting, collaborative relationship with clients while adhering to evidence-based practices. She recognizes that healing is a complex, multifaceted process, and that individuals are deeply influenced by their environment and social systems. By integrating a systemic perspective, Dr. Richter treats clients holistically, addressing both immediate issues and their underlying causes. Her goal is to help clients find balance—accepting what cannot be changed while empowering them to address areas where transformation is possible. Through collaborative goal-setting, she helps clients achieve meaningful, sustainable change.

Dr. Richter holds an Honors Psychology Bachelors Degree from Touro College and a Master’s in School Psychology. She completed her doctoral training at the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology at Rutgers University.
