Adam Frankel, PhD

Collective Founding Member

Dr. Adam Frankel is a supervising psychologist and clinical lecturer who provides individual and group psychotherapy to adults who struggle with mental health and substance use challenges. He specializes in working with individuals who struggle with high levels of anxiety, alcohol and cannabis misuse, and obsessive and compulsive behaviors including sports gambling and high-risk stock trading.

Dr. Frankel has offices in New York City and the San Francisco Bay Area. He integrates psychotherapies including insight-oriented (psychodynamic), parts-work (IFS and Chairwork), Somatic Experiencing (SE) and exposure therapy (ERP), and cognitive behavioral and dialectical approaches (CBT/DBT). He uses this integrated therapeutic framework approach to help those he works with gain a greater sense of agency in their lives through the development of active coping skills and self-understanding.

Moreover, he is skilled in motivational and behavioral psychotherapies (Motivational Interviewing and ACT) and trauma informed care, and he is EMDR-trained. He believes that having a well-rounded set of therapeutic skills facilitate the change process most effectively for the unique challenges of each client.

Dr. Frankel received his Ph.D. in psychology from Long Island University, Brooklyn Campus. He completed his internship at Mt Sinai Medical Center and his post-doctoral fellowship at the Addiction Institute of New York at Mt. Sinai-Roosevelt Hospital. He is currently a teaching faculty at the Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society and Training Program. Dr. Frankel presents nationally and internationally on integrated therapeutic treatment modalities. He is a clinical supervisor and teacher to advanced Ph.D. students in psychology and social work in the New York Metropolitan Area and San Francisco Bay Area.
