Tristan Guarini

Tristan Guarini, PhD, is an experienced psychologist licensed in New York, specializing in providing therapy for teens and adults facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). With a strong belief that the quality of the therapist-client relationship is crucial for successful outcomes, Tristan creates a space where clients feel both challenged and safe. They embrace a modern understanding of professionalism, believing that authenticity—such as having tattoos and sharing personal beliefs—can enhance the therapeutic process, while still valuing essential aspects like confidentiality and established boundaries. With 15 years of therapy experience and a decade of private practice, Tristan is committed to providing individualized support, particularly for queer and trans clients, those with OCD seeking exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), and individuals exploring polyamorous or non-monogamous relationships. As a down-to-earth professional trained at some of the nation's prestigious institutions, Tristan is dedicated to guiding clients through their healing journeys and empowering them to confront their challenges head-on.
