Vinny Donofrio is a master’s level clinician and an advanced doctoral student in Clinical Psychology at Fordham University. He obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Tufts University and a Master’s of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Fordham University.
Vinny’s clinical expertise focuses on helping people practice emotional and cognitive flexibility. Through this flexibility, his clients learn to limit their distress, improve their professional and social functioning, and increase their satisfaction in social, professional, and emotional domains. He has diverse clinical experiences, including working with children, adolescents, and adults from varying socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. While Vinny is exceptionally skilled at working with individuals with executive functioning concerns (e.g., poor attention or organizational skills) and mood and anxiety disorders, he is able to help and work with any individual who has a desire for change and self-improvement. Vinny’s therapeutic approach combines aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy strategies, including mindfulness and understanding of the self through reflection and processing of formative life experiences. He operates from a strengths-based and person-centered approach where the client and Vinny work together to identify goals, implement coping skills, and build insight and strategies to process and navigate their stressors. Vinny understands that the mental health industry can be a complex space to navigate and that everyone may not readily understand some of the terms listed above. At the practice, he and his colleagues are committed to helping clients understand the available options and will describe the process as openly and clearly as possible. Their top priority is the client’s care. |
