Welcome to Behavioral Associates
Serving New York City since 1988
We specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alone or in combination with medication free treatments like Biofeedback, Neurofeedback, Virtual Reality Therapy (VRT) and QEEG assessment. While we provide individual, couples, family and group therapy for adults, our dedicated Children’s Center is here to diagnose and treat mental health challenges in children and teens.
As innovators in mental health technology, we make it a priority to stay current in a rapidly evolving field. This allows us to provide the most effective treatments and diagnostic tools that are organic and without side effects.
Dr. Robert Reiner, PhD, Executive Director and founder of Behavioral Associates, generally meets with every new patient for their initial consultation to assess personal needs and match them with an appropriate therapist from our staff. In the case of children and teens, the parent and/or guardian first meets with Dr. Heather Davidson, Director of the Children’s Center. This “team” approach, evolved and coordinated for close to thirty years, has proven to provide treatment protocols that benefit our patients as efficiently as possible.

Children’s Center
Our Children’s Center is dedicated to providing compassionate, effective and comprehensive care for each child, teen and family that walks through our door. Our goal is to provide an environment where children and their families are given the support and care needed to thrive and make positive changes.
Neuropsychological Testing
A psychological assessment “battery” consists of several tests designed to evaluate a multitude of aspects of an individual’s functioning. This is all based on the referral question. At Behavioral Associates, a typical psychological assessment includes an intelligence (or cognitive) test, an achievement test, a projective or personality test and a qEEG brain scan.
