Introducing Gabrielle DiBenedetto, LMSW!

Please give a warm welcome to Gabrielle DiBenedetto, LMSW who joined our cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) team in July! You can see her full and impressive bio by clicking here!

Gabrielle is a child and adolescent psychotherapist and, as all incoming therapists at BHBA, is engaged in weekly didactics with curriculum from the Beck Institute for CBT. She is in intensive training for exposure and response prevention (ExRP) for OCD with a developer for ExRP from the University of Pennsylvania Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety, along with other members of the BHBA team.

During graduate school at NYU Silver School of Social Work, Gabrielle was drawn to trauma-informed interventions for children and trained in CBT-FT (trauma focused), as well as Group Attachment-Based Intervention (GABI) at the Center for Babies, Toddlers, and Families (CBTF) at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. GABI focuses on fostering secure attachment within the care-giver/child dyad, in order to circumvent transmission of intergenerational trauma. Through GABI, she developed a love for play therapy, and frequently uses toys, games, and art to build therapeutic bonds and facilitate healthy emotional expression. She also brings to bear her passions and degrees in both theater and early education to enhance her therapeutic skills.

Gabrielle has experience with youth of all ages, from infants to young adults, with a variety of challenges, in a variety of settings, including special ed and main stream schools, clinics, and New York city family shelters.
