Testimonials

"Dr. Candela Bonaccorso is a dedicated, bright, knowledgeable, warm and funny therapist. I had the privilege of co-leading therapy groups with her for 3 years at Bellevue Hospital Center's WTC EHC helping 9/11 survivors. In all my experiences and interactions with Dr. Bonaccorso, I found her to be professional, warm, curious, thoughtful, and caring regarding helping every client she worked with. Clients in our group felt cared for, comforted, supported and challenged to grow. I refer and will continue to refer clients to Dr. Bonaccorso as I trust her clinical judgment and empathy. Those clients I have referred (often relatives of current clients) have grown and express praise of her efforts."

"I have known Dr. Bonaccorso for close to ten years, initially in the role as supervisor and then as a colleague. She is bright, professional, warm, engaging and talented. Dr. Bonaccorso also has years of experience working with Spanish speaking patients. Without doubt, she is one of the finest clinicians I know and I highly recommend her for any one seeking a therapist for individual psychotherapy."

-Dr. Anne B. Joelle, Clinical Psychologist at Bellevue Hospital and in Private Practice in SoHo

"I have known Candela for six years and worked with her directly for two and a half. She is a gifted clinician in all areas of client care. The compassion and support she shows her clients is grounded in a respect for their autonomy and self-determination, as well as an appreciation of the complexities of the external and internal factors influencing their situations. She brings a rare depth of knowledge and expertise to cases, viewing issues from multiple perspectives, considering the impact of current research, and staying true to the highest ethical standards. She is a consummate professional, and a pleasure to work with".
