Brittany Bucceri, Ph.D., is a postdoctoral fellow at CBC where she conducts individual, family and group psychotherapy with children, adolescents, and adults. Brittany earned her Master’s degree, advanced certificate, and PhD in school psychology from Fordham University. Her Master’s degree was in preschool psychology.

Brittany completed her APA-accredited pre-doctoral internship at Pleasantville High School in the Pleasantville Union Free School District where she conducted individual and group psychotherapy, consultation with stakeholders, and psychological assessments with children and adolescents.

Brittany is intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Brittany has additional experience providing services in a variety of settings including outpatient private settings, therapeutic day treatment, and inpatient programs. In these settings, she has gained extensive training in evidence-based treatments for anxiety and mood disorders and has experience treating social anxiety, separation anxiety, generalized anxiety, eating disorders, autism spectrum disorders, school refusal, and depression. Prior to her internship, Brittany trained at the Children’s Evaluation and Rehabilitation Center on the Infant and Preschool Unit at Montefiore Medical Center where she provided individual counseling, parent training, and psychological evaluations to young children. She also trained in public school settings where she implemented DBT to elementary and high school students and participated in DBT consultation meetings. Brittany has experience providing crisis intervention services on inpatient psychiatric units for individuals ranging from childhood to older adulthood.

Brittany’s dissertation research focused on evaluating the experiences of parenting during the COVID-19 lockdown, specifically comparing those experiences of parents who had a child with a disability during this time and those who did not. Her research interests continue to focus on parent support and well-being of those who have children with disabilities and promoting positive parent-child interactions.
