I cannot recommend Dr. Samuel Reinfeld enough. From the very first visit, he exudes patience and genuine care. He listens deeply, takes the time to understand, and offers thoughtful guidance.

I had a virtual meeting with Dr Richard Satraino today and I must say this is the first doctor to take his time and actually listen to what I was saying. Highly recommend him. Been seeing him for awhile now and I still have the same exact opinion. Still have the same exact opinion of Dr Satraino but the front desk could not possibly be worse.

Understanding Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
When you are going through a difficult time, negative or self-critical thoughts can automatically shape how you feel and react to the world. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a well-researched, goal-oriented approach that helps you identify these automatic thought habits and gently reframe them.
Rather than spending endless sessions only focusing on the past, CBT focuses heavily on your present experiences. Your provider works collaboratively alongside you to break down complex problems into manageable parts, teaching you concrete skills to manage stress, anxiety, and low mood in your day-to-day life.
Feeling heard should start even before your first session.
At Community Minds, we don’t just book appointments. We build relationships that work for you. Before we match you with a provider, someone from our friendly intake team will give you a quick call. We’ll listen to what you’re looking for (your goals, your schedule, and your preferences), so we can connect you with the right therapist or prescriber from the start. We’re here to make sure you get the support you need.
- Appointments that work for you, in-person or online
- Day, evening and weekend availability
- We accept most major insurance plans, including Medicare, Aetna, TRICARE, NYSHIP, Humana, and more.
- Therapy, medication, or both. Whatever's right for you.
- Advanced interventional treatments including Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Spravato®
- ADHD testing and management (in-person and virtual)
Fill out the form and we’ll be in touch within the next 24 hours (or the next business day). We’re here to help, and make it as easy as possible for you.
P.S. Hate waiting or just want to feel more in control? (We get it!) Choose one of our providers yourself now on Zocdoc, or call us right away if it’s during business hours.
