Dr Brittany Speed

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

“I established Hudson Valley Psychology to provide greater access to gold-standard evidence-based psychotherapy. I have specific expertise in anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, traumatic stress reactions, insomnia, and functional gastrointestinal disorders. All appointments are via telehealth”

About Me

I guide individuals through challenging experiences like persistent anxiety, trauma’s impact, or sleep difficulties. We explore proven, gold-standard strategies tailored to your unique needs. This approach is ideal for those seeking clear, effective pathways to reduce distress and regain stability. Appointments are conveniently offered via telehealth, ensuring accessible support wherever you are.

Approach

Sessions focus on clear, practical steps that ease persistent worry, interrupt compulsive habits, and improve nightly rest. I meet adults across New York via telehealth in English, keeping sessions structured, paced to your tolerance, and tailored to everyday demands. We use targeted assessment, CBT-informed skill teaching, and short between-session experiments to test what helps so progress feels tangible. People who prefer focused, measurable work to regain calm and better sleep often find this approach helpful.
