Sofya Shuster

Hello! I am a licensed clinical psychologist in New York.  I have over 20 years of experience as a psychologist and have worked with individuals with autism throughout my career.  I spent a number of years conducting assessments in forensic settings and have used my assessment skills to diagnose individuals with autism.

Throughout my career, I have practiced unconditional positive regard where every individual feels valued and empowered.  I am inspired by the strengths, perspectives, and resilience of the autistic/ neurodivergent community and look forward to providing support that is person-centered.

By practicing unconditional positive regard and a person-centered approach in my interactions with clients, I focus on their strengths and unique abilities.  This approach helps my clients to feel heard, valued and empowered in a safe space.  I believe that each client can navigate challenges and achieve their goals if they are empowered, and if their individual strengths and abilities are harnessed.
