Dr. Bonnie Floyd
Hello! My name is Dr. Bonnie Floyd. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist, with a specialization in health psychology. My expertise is assisting individuals who are diagnosed with chronic illness to live more fulfilling lives. I completed my Ph.D. in Clinical Health Psychology, through a program jointly offered by Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Yeshiva University, Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology. I have nearly twenty years of clinical experience, working in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I've had experience in psychological pain management, providing both biofeedback and psychotherapy. For the past fifteen years, I've specialized in working with geriatric patients; I've provided comprehensive neuropsychological assessments, to diagnose forms of dementia. More recently, I've been providing supportive psychotherapy sessions for residents in nursing homes. Last November, I published Remarkable Journey: My Dual Perspectives as Doctor and Patient. Having specialized in coping with chronic illness during my doctoral training, I am now managing chronic conditions of my own. This offers a unique perspective for those who are struggling to adapt to chronic conditions. My theoretical orientation is cognitive-behavioral in nature: I assist clients with the identification of maladaptive patterns of thinking, as well as provide training with the substitution of more adaptive thoughts. Similarly, I assist clients with recognizing when behaviors are no longer useful for their current situations; I provide help with forming new, more adaptive behaviors. I have a longstanding interest in mood disorders, especially major depressive disorder. I would be honored to have the opportunity to work together on your current concerns. I commend individuals for the courage to reach out for professional assistance when necessary.

Shonny Capodilupo
Great to meet you! I want you to know that when you come into therapy with me, you don’t have to pretend, minimize, or hold everything together. You get to show up exactly as you are — overwhelmed, hopeful, exhausted, confused, motivated, or anything in between. We take it from there together. My favorite part of this work has always been sitting with people one‐on‐one. That’s where real connection and real healing happen. I genuinely enjoy getting to know who you are, what you’ve been carrying, and what you’re hoping might feel different. My style is warm, steady, and honest. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and help you understand the experiences and patterns that are shaping your life. I’m also practical — I like to offer tools and strategies you can actually use in your day‐to‐day life, not just in the therapy room. I work with people dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, major transitions, and substance use concerns. But most importantly, I work with people who feel stuck or weighed down and aren’t sure how to move forward. Everyone deserves a space where they can breathe and be supported. Something I tell clients often is this: I don’t want you to just feel better — I want you to be well. Feeling better can be temporary. Being well means building insight, healing, and lasting change. My goal is simple: to help you feel safe, understood, and supported as you find your footing and move toward what’s healthier and more meaningful for you. My approach to therapy When you work with me, you get someone who shows up fully — present, steady, honest, and genuinely invested in your well‐being. I’m not here to give you quick fixes or surface‐level advice. I’m here to help you understand yourself more deeply, heal what’s been ignored or pushed aside, and build a life that feels more grounded and true to who you are. My style is warm, direct, and deeply human. I listen for the things underneath your words — the patterns, the pain points, the strengths you might not yet see. I’ll challenge you gently, support you consistently, and help you make sense of what’s been getting in the way. And I’ll give you practical tools you can actually use outside the therapy room. I specialize in working with clients who are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and substance use concerns. I understand how past experiences shape your emotions and your relationships — and we work together to shift those patterns, not just cope with them. If you’re looking for a therapist who is engaged, thoughtful, and committed to your growth — someone who sees your potential even when you’re struggling to see it yourself — I’d be honored to work with you. You won’t be doing this alone. I’ll be right there with you, every step of the way, as you move toward a life that feels calmer, clearer, and more like your own. What you can expect from me During your first session, we’ll talk about what brings you in, what’s been weighing on you, and what you’d like to see change. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to help us build a shared understanding and to get a clear picture of what support will be most helpful for you. I also use screening tools and assessments in early sessions. These aren’t tests you can “pass” or “fail” — they’re simply tools that help us better understand your symptoms, experiences, and needs so we can create a plan that actually fits you. By the end of our first session, we’ll have: A sense of what’s been happening in your life; a shared understanding of your goals and a beginning plan for how we’ll work together My intention is that you leave feeling a little more grounded, a little more understood, and reassured that you don’t have to do this alone. I’ll be right there with you as we move at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
