I’m Dr. Evan Podolak, a New York-licensed psychologist in private practice since 2009. I meet with adults and teens at my Mamaroneck office and online across New York, including people from nearby Westchester communities.
My work is tailored to each person and often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and self-compassion. We can begin with a consultation to discuss your concerns, what you hope to change, and whether working together feels like a good fit.
I use a variety of approaches to address my clients’ unique needs. Many successful treatment plans will utilize a foundation of cognitive-behavioral therapy then quickly move toward a tailored treatment plan and approach that includes tools to help sustain the growth experienced in regular therapy.
Additionally, there is a growing body of research that supports the practice of self-compassion and mindfulness in psychotherapy. Neuroscience research reveals individuals that practice these techniques are happier, more resilient, and better equipped to heal painful memories from the past. It is my honor and mission to help my clients move past what’s blocking them from reaching their full potential individually and in their relationships.
Learn strategies to calm worry, reduce restlessness, and regain control.

Are you having a difficult time handling the struggles in your life?
Is your teen under a lot of stress? Do they not seem as happy as they once did?

Dr. Podolak has is an effective therapist and I would highly recommend him. We've been meeting for almost a year and I've made tremendous progress in the things we've worked together on. I appreciate his extremely collaborative approach to therapy and have found him to be both a caring and effective listener. He gives a safe space to discuss topics that may be uncomfortable. I've learned so much about myself and the way I think during our sessions. I also have found the accountability he provides very helpful in making progress.Posted on Google![]()

Dr. Podolak has been a great listener who offers practical, thoughtful strategies that taught me how to reframe my thought patterns in a way that has had an outsized impact on my day to day wellbeing. His calm, friendly nature helped me feel at ease and more ready to open up. Just meeting with him a handful of times offered me an array of tools that help me feel capable and ready to handle whatever anxieties arise.Posted on Google![]()

Dr. Evan changed my life in a few short sessions. Sometimes it's chemistry and sometimes it's expertise. We had both here. Thank you so much Evan for pointing me in the right direction.Posted on Google![]()
