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. Dr. Cyran is particularly sensitive to struggles of anxiety, perfectionism, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and high-pressure settings. Together, she helps clients find creative ways to face fears, test beliefs and assumptions, learn new skills, replace unhelpful habits, and re-engage with what is meaningful for them.
Therapy sessions with Dr. Cyran integrate Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) approaches. 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. She is committed to maintaining an inclusive, save, affirming practice.
Dr. Cyran is licensed in both New York and Maine, which is particularly useful for NY residents who attend college in Maine and want to maintain continuity of care across settings.
Dr. Cyran holds a PsyD (Doctor of Psychology) from St. John's University and completed her undergraduate studies in psychology and philosophy at Barnard College. Her applied training has included a range of clinical placements, including hospital-based outpatient, community mental health, residential treatment, elementary and high schools, and private group practice settings. In addition to clinical work, Dr. Cyran is an Associate Professor in the Psychology Department at St. John's University, and teaches undergraduate courses on Child and Adolescent Development and Psychopathology.
