CBC Team

Dr. Emily Dugoff is a Clinical Psychology Postdoctoral Fellow at CBC, where she provides individual and group therapy to adolescents and adults with a range of clinical presentations. She earned her master’s and doctoral degrees in Clinical Psychology from Hofstra University and her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Michigan.

Emily has advanced training in both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), with particular expertise in evidence-based interventions for anxiety, mood, obsessive-compulsive, and personality disorders. She completed her APA-accredited predoctoral internship at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where she provided evidence-based treatment across outpatient, inpatient, psychiatric emergency, and consultation-liaison settings.

Prior to her doctoral internship, Emily completed an externship at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, where she specialized in DBT, treating clients in both a comprehensive, Linehan Board Certified (DBT-LBC™) DBT program and an intensive outpatient program. Emily also completed an externship at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, where she provided CBT- and DBT-informed treatment on an inpatient Personality Disorders Unit. Across four years of graduate training, Emily provided individual CBT through Hofstra University’s Anxiety and Depression Clinic and comprehensive DBT through the university’s DBT Clinic.

Emily approaches therapy with warmth, curiosity, and respect for each client’s unique experiences, identities, and needs. She prioritizes building strong therapeutic relationships and creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.

Emily’s research centers on increasing the accessibility and effectiveness of evidence-based interventions. Her doctoral dissertation evaluated a brief, virtual DBT skills intervention for individuals living with chronic medical conditions. She has also studied burnout among clinical psychology doctoral students and presented her work at the annual convention of the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT). Emily is a member of both ABCT and the American Psychological Association.
