Dr. Edward Dewey, PsyD

Dr. Edward Dewey, PsyD, completed his doctorate at the George Washington University School for Professional Psychology with a major track in Adult Psychotherapy and two minor tracks in Assessment and Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy. He interned at the Jacobi Medical Center location of the Albert Einstein School of Medicine in the North Bronx in 2001 and continued to work there for half a decade. While there, he sought additional certification in Cognitive Psychotherapy for Psychosis and was an author of the first edition of the Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual. He has spent a decade in inpatient psychiatric facilities treating children, adolescents, and adults in both inpatient wards and their outpatient clinics. Following that, he operated a private practice for 15 years while also working in adult day cares and nursing homes, treating a variety of patients with physical, neurological, and end-of-life problems. He also trained in Psychoanalysis at the NYU Psychoanalytic Institute of the NYU Langone Medical Center (now PANY) for ten years while presenting at scientific meetings and serving as an editor and author of the institute’s publication. His first and foremost concern as a therapist is to do no harm and to help his patients improve their lives. He does not remain wedded to any particular modality of therapeutic change and believes that, though they all have different language and theoretical frameworks, they all interrelate and do many similar things. He has years of experience with the full spectrum of patients with psychotic, sexual function, personality, interpersonal, marital/family, substance, obsessive compulsive, ADHD, and PTSD problems, many of which co-occur, and has worked with many patients from LGBT communities and the issues that relate to many of them.
