Dr. William Sanderson and Dr. Janet Klosko have Co-Directed the Cognitive Therapy Center of Long Island since its inception in 1989. They are both New York State licensed clinical psychologists and Founding Fellows of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy.
The staff of CTCLI practices cognitive-behavioral therapy, a short-term form of therapy that has been scientifically demonstrated to significantly help many psychological disorders, such as depression, anxiety, excessive anger, sexual problems, eating problems, physical stress symptoms, insomnia, impulse-control problems, social skills problems, and relationship problems.
The staff also practices schema therapy, a longer-term psychotherapy that focuses on healing lifelong self-defeating patterns, such as one finds in personality disorders. Schema therapy addresses eighteen schemas, including Mistrust/Abuse, Abandonment, Emotional Deprivation, Defectiveness, Social Isolation, Failure, Dependence, Undeveloped Self, Vulnerability to Harm, Subjugation, Self-Sacrifice, Approval-Seeking, Pessimism, Emotional Inhibition, Unrelenting Standards, Punitiveness, Entitlement, and Insufficient Self-Discipline.
