About Me
Hello. My name is Gerald Pantoja. I am a licensed clinical psychologist and owner of a solo private practice, Grounded Spirit Psychology PLLC based in New York City. My private practice specializes in working with PTSD, complex PTSD, borderline personality disorder, and grief. I serve both states of New York and New Jersey. I am an integrative therapist, specializing in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), DBT-Prolonged Exposure (DBT-PE), and somatic practices. My work centers a decolonial lens, which may include exploration of identity, trauma and grief related to our identities, and integrating healing from a variety of perspectives.
