Dr. Aliza Rosenwasser

Dr. Rosenwasser obtained her doctorate in Psychology from Pace University where she was psychodynamically trained. Dr. Rosenwasser focused her doctoral dissertation on attachment theory and its impact on the developing self. Dr. Rosenwasser continued to pursue her interest in attachment theory and conducted dyadic therapy with mothers and infants in a therapeutic nursery.

Dr. Rosenwasser was both a clinician and clinical supervisor at ACHIEVE Behavioral Health where her work focused on both individual and couples therapy. She also co-led DBT groups, parenting groups and facilitated a Trauma supervision group for clinicians.

Dr. Rosenwasser was inspired by the participants in her DBT group who translated their acquired skills into more effective parenting. This motivated Dr. Rosenwasser to formulate and lead a parenting group curriculum geared towards parenting children with intense emotions.

Within her private practice in NY and NJ, Dr. Rosenwasser’s work is an intersection of her two main interests – attachment theory and complex trauma – and her work focuses on relationships and developmental trauma. Dr. Rosenwasser’s work with individuals, couples and the therapists she supervises, integrates a variety of modalities including psychodynamic conceptualization, mindfulness, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy DBT skills, trauma modalities like Somatic Interventions and EMDR, all firmly grounded in neuroscience.
