Dr. Olivia Velting specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapies for Anxiety, Mood, Tic and Habit Disorders in individuals of all ages.
Olivia Velting, Ph.D. is a licensed psychologist with a specialization in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Dr. Velting has extensive training and years of experience treating children, adolescents, young adults and adults with anxiety and mood disorders, especially OCD, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety, Generalized Anxiety, Phobias, Habit Disorders, Tics, Tourette Syndrome, and Depression. She completed her doctoral degree at SUNY Stony Brook and her postdoctoral training at NYU Child Study Center’s Anxiety and Mood Disorders Program. Because of her clinical research and writing experience early in her career, Dr. Velting is dedicated to using empirically based treatments so that her patients can more readily develop greater psychological and behavioral flexibility as well as compassion for themselves and, thus, live their lives to their fullest. Her specialized training includes ERP (for OCD), HRT (for Habit Disorders), CBIT (for Tics and Tourette Syndrome) as well as CBT-I (for sleep problems), which she uses in her work with individuals who have these distressing but behaviorally very treatable issues. Dr. Velting highly values working collaboratively with patients, their families and other professionals who are key in their mental, academic, and physical wellness.

The Psychological Health Collaborative PLLC is considered an out-of-network provider and does not accept insurance. Many insurance companies offer out-of-network benefits which provide reimbursement for psychotherapy services. PHC will provide you with all of the information necessary in order to submit for reimbursement through your insurance provider. As part of our commitment to providing services to the uninsured or underinsured, we hire psychologist permit holders and trainees to see people who do not have the financial resources to pay our normal fees.
It’s easy! Just call: 516-466-2537 or email us. Our office staff will take down your information and then you will speak with our Intake Director. We take great care in making an optimal match between you and one of our therapists. Our intake director will listen to your concerns, explain treatment options, and get you connected with a therapist.
We like to think of ourselves as part of the team working to help your child, along with parents, teachers and any other medical providers. You can describe us like coaches who help solve problems and make sure the team is working well together. We are caring, non-judgmental “feelings doctors” who provide a safe, confidential place to talk about difficult topics. Here are several children’s books written by our own Dr. Conte that provide an excellent introduction to the concept of therapy.
At PHC, we strive to provide efficient and effective treatment. Treatment is highly individualized and treatment length depends on a number of factors. We typically have weekly 45 minute sessions for several months.
We are conveniently located near the LIE, Northern State Parkway and Willis Avenue in Roslyn Heights. Detailed directions are available here.
