About

DioGuardi, Dr. Richard J., Ph.D.

Welcome to the first important step in enhancing your well-being and reaching your potential! As a clinical psychologist licensed in New York, I offer comprehensive psychological services for children, adolescents, and adults. I am committed to helping people struggling with a variety of individual, family, and relationship difficulties. Because an individual's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, my approach involves collaboratively helping clients achieve healthy change in all three areas. I also firmly believe that a warm, accepting, and non-judgmental approach is critical for therapeutic success. In my practice, evaluations, psychological testing, and treatments are provided in a confidential and comfortable environment. I am also a certified school psychologist, providing psychological and psychoeducational testing, as well as consultation with schools.

Some of my specialty areas include: childhood disruptive behavior disorders (including ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and Conduct Disorder), depression, anxiety, phobias, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), stress and anger management, social skills and assertiveness training, parent training, behavior modification, and psychoeducational testing.

I currently am an active member of the New York State Psychological Association (NYSPA), serving on the NYSPA Council and Foundation. I am also a member of the American Psychological Association (APA) and the Westchester County Psychological Association (WCPA). In the past 5 years, I have been featured in The Journal News, Westchester Magazine, Hudson Valley Magazine, and News12 Westchester, discussing a variety of topics, such as cyberbullying, helping children cope in the aftermath of tragedies (school shootings, suicides, etc.), and assertiveness training.

Regarding educational background and training, I received his doctorate and master's degree in clinical psychology from St. John's University and his Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Cornell University. He completed his clinical internship at the Institute of Living / Hartford Hospital and Connecticut Children's Medical Center.

Dr. DioGuardi was recommended by my pediatrician, who spoke of him as a highly-qualified, nurturing and caring therapist, who connects with children at all age levels. My son was initially apprehensive about therapy, but he warmed up quickly with Dr. DioGuardi's approach and personal manner. He took the time to really get to know my son and the rest of our family. He consulted often with my son's school social worker as well. He helped reduce my child's social anxiety, helped my child form friendships with his peers, and my child developed better social skills as a result of working with Dr. DioGuardi. Dr. DioGuardi was always available to speak with me about the progress of my child. I very much recommend this clinical psychologist because of his expertise and the comforting way he interacts. He always had a smile on his face when he greeted my son. I respect Dr. DioGuardi as a talented, insightful, and caring doctor, who has transformed my son into a self-confident and happier child. Thank you so much, Dr. DioGuardi for all your help!

A kind, compassionate, and skilled psychologist. Saw my son after he was bullied by other kids. Dr. DioGuardi was recommended by my son's school psychologist. He did a great job at building my son's self-esteem, giving him healthy strategies to handle his emotions. and improving his social skills. He now feels better about himself, has joined with new friends, and is a much happier than before.
