OUR STAFF

Dr. Mathew Jacob is an experienced psychologist who has worked with clients at Therapy Center of New York (TCNY) since 2002. With more than two decades supporting TCNY clients, he also serves as a Director at the Rockland Children's Psychiatric Center, bringing both clinical leadership and hands-on experience to his work.

Dr. Jacob treats children aged 5 and older as well as adults, and he works with couples and families. His areas of focus include ADHD, anxiety and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and he provides care for pre-marriage counseling, LGBTQ-related concerns and faith-related (Christianity) considerations when clients wish to integrate them. A particular strength of his practice is psychological assessment: he offers neuropsychological testing, psycho-educational testing, cognitive/intelligence testing and projective/personality testing—evaluations that can clarify diagnoses, guide school accommodations and inform treatment planning.

In therapy, Dr. Jacob draws on behavioral therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness and psycho-education, and he can incorporate trauma-focused work where appropriate. This combination of testing expertise and evidence-based therapy makes him especially valuable for families seeking clarity about a child's diagnosis or learning profile, as well as for adults who want a structured, skills-based approach.

His training includes an internship with the Jewish Child Care Association, a PhD from Hofstra University, and an undergraduate degree from Queens College (City University of New York). At TCNY he brings clinical leadership and a broad treatment range to a wide spectrum of behavioral health needs. Care is available across New York in person and through secure telehealth. Prospective clients can contact the TCNY administrative team to learn more about his current availability, his testing services, the concerns he is accepting, and insurance and scheduling details.
