About

Dr. Nicole Belletti is a psychologist practicing in New York. She specializes in working with people who have experienced trauma, particularly young people—from very young kids through young adults. Dr. Belletti has nearly 20 years’ clinical experience working with trauma survivors. She currently works primarily with individuals who have experienced trauma due to their membership in marginalized communities: disabled and chronically ill people, non-monogamous folx, BBIPOC individuals, people coping with psychosis, and members of the queer community, especially folx who identify as trans and gender diverse. Dr. Belletti is also skilled at accompanying people through the trauma of grief and loss.

Dr. Belletti is an integrative psychodynamic therapist, which means she'll work with you to create a therapeutic approach that suits your personal needs, drawing on therapeutic theories and techniques in which she is trained, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) (working towards certification), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), CBT for Psychosis (CBTp) (working towards certification), sand tray therapy, creative arts and expressive therapies, somatic techniques, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), classical talk therapy, and play therapy. 

Dr. Belletti looks forward to welcoming you into her virtual office soon!

Nicole Belletti's Expert Contributions
  • How long is the treatment for child anxiety?

    It depends on the type of treatment--some are time limited, while others are not. Additionally, if you're using insurance, your provider may dictate how many therapy sessions they will cover. Barring that, the length of your daughter's treatment also depends on her engagement in therapy and whether there are complicating factors or additional issues she'd like to address. READ MORE

  • Are my problems major enough to seek help?

    Anything that's causing you worry is concern is major enough to warrant seeking help. Intrusive thoughts and images and hearing noises that you know aren't there would make most people feel paranoid and worried. There are several reasons you could be experiencing these things, ranging from trauma to severe anxiety to psychosis, and while any or all of those might sound scary, they're all very treatable. READ MORE

  • What treatment is good for a child's angry behavior?

    It's difficult to answer this question without knowing more about your daughter--her age and a bit about her life experiences, for example. Many kids act in ways that seem (or are) angry to adults when they're struggling to communicate or are suffering from anxiety or depression. It might help to have her meet with a therapist who can see what's behind her angry behavior. READ MORE

  • Nightmares stopped but have returned. What can I do?

    If the nightmares are disrupting your sleep and/or your life, it might be time to return to therapy. That doesn't mean all your therapy results have been "undone", though. You've probably heard of trauma anniversaries; I'd say that 10 years since your family member's death is a pretty big trauma anniversary. Obviously, I don't know for sure whether that's what's caused the return of your nightmares, but it could be one explanation. Or maybe you're under a lot of stress lately and that's stirred up old memories. Whatever the reason, it's worth getting some support if you need it. READ MORE

  • I am taking medication for my OCD, but I don’t feel very good. What should I do?

    Yes, there's a very effective evidence-based treatment for OCD called Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which is usually more effective than medication alone. READ MORE

  • How can I help my daughter recover from accident trauma?

    Has your daughter been willing to talk about why she stopped working with her previous therapist? Trauma work can be very difficult, and some approaches can feel more challenging that others. Perhaps she would do better with a different therapeutic approach. She may also just need to go back to therapy in her own time. READ MORE
