DR. MARC GERBER

I am a psychologist who offers cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and conducts psychological and neuropsychological evaluations for adults and children.

​

With regard to assessment, I am trained in administering gold-standard tests to evaluate children and adults for autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and various other disorders. I am also retained to conduct forensic evaluations, and assess individuals who are being tried in court. I provide clear, insightful reports that help clients obtain the support they need in school and the community. 

 

As a cognitive behavioral therapist, I utilize rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) techniques to help clients identify, evaluate and challenge automatic, self-defeating thoughts so they can feel better emotionally, behave more functionally and experience long-lasting change. In therapy, you will become more aware of the thoughts, emotions and behaviors that are holding you back, and learn how to handle them in a more productive way. It is a present-oriented, structured therapy that involves problem solving, and includes an action plan for moving forward. I also employ outcome measures so we can closely gauge our progress, without having to make vague estimates. When called for, I borrow from other psychotherapeutic modalities such as motivational interviewing, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy. I use and encourage mindfulness practices to relieve stress, mitigate anxiety and, perhaps most importantly, to develop a range of insights into automatic thoughts and the way our individual minds operate. My overarching goal as a practitioner is to help clients figure out what they want most from life, and assist them in moving toward achieving their vision.
