Rachelle S. Theise, PsyD

I am a clinical psychologist at the Child Study Center, part of Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone, where I provide cognitive behavioral therapy to children and their families to improve behavioral, social, and emotional difficulties. Additionally, at NYU Langone’s Center for Early Childhood Health and Development, I work with ParentCorps—a family-focused, school-based program that collaborates with families to promote high-quality learning environments for young children. I contribute to clinical and research activities to promote ParentCorps and better understand child development and parenting.

My research focuses on child behavior and the prevention of mood problems, the promotion of resilience in children, and the development of positive parent–child relationships.
