About
**Please see DrJerryBakka.com for more information. Therapy is a collaboration with my clients to ensure a safe, non-judgmental place to explore feelings, cognitions, patterns, and options. My psychodynamic and CBT perspectives look at current difficulties through exploration of past and present experiences. I work with people brand new to therapy but have also been the psychologist to many therapists. Vast experience allows me to draw upon 30 years of work in hospitals and private practice. To begin, I help clients articulate expectations for therapy so that together we can create a positive, productive therapeutic relationship. **Consider therapists' credentials. I am trained at a doctoral level with many years of closely supervised work before earning the Ph.D. at Columbia University & the Cornell Medical School post-doc. This allowed me the rare opportunity to work in many leading university hospitals-UCLA, Columbia, Cornell, NYU, and Sloan-Kettering Hospital, gaining a solid background to help people. With psychodynamic work, I combine Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness work and EMDR to make therapy a supportive and empathetic space for growth. For my clients, this can provide a powerful chance to go forward, learning new ways to be mindful, present, and aware of new options for lasting, effective change and fulfillment.
