More about Dr. Francine Baffa, PhD

Creating an engaged therapeutic relationship is where we start. I became a therapist because I believe in the power of relationships. Moved by my own experiences, I wanted to guide others to push past perceived limitations, obstacles, and fear to live a full and meaningful life. We all have the ability to grow and change. In our work together, I will help you heal and move forward. I bring more than 20 years of experience. My clinical background spans hospitals, inpatient treatment centers, residential treatment facilities, and outpatient clinics. I hold a PhD in Intellectual Disability/Autism from Columbia University and a Master's in Social Work from New York University. I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst Doctorate (BCBA-D). I work with adults (18-65+) treating a broad range of diagnoses including anxiety, depression, ADHD, and ASD. Specialty interests include family relationships, stress management, and life coaching. My areas of expertise are Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT). I utilize an integrated, transdiagnostic approach. I love what I do and am committed to helping you define your needs and desires. Therapy is a joint process, and our partnership will provide a strong foundation to equip you with self-agency to develop new patterns, create a life closer to your ideal, and recalibrate your relationship with yourself and others. Let me assist you in navigating to a new norm.
