Martin N. Seif

I'm Dr. Marty Seif, a psychologist who specializes in anxiety disorders, and a pioneer in its modern treatment. I grew up in a suburb of New York City and have a private psychotherapy practice in Greenwich, CT. I am no stranger to the experience of anxiety, and I became an expert in the field because I want to help others live a life that is unhampered and unlimited by anxiety and the avoidance it engenders. I have enormous experience working with people who are afraid of flying, and created and led the popular Freedom to Fly program from 2000 to 2017. I am on the faculty of New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Former Associate Director of the Anxiety and Phobia Treatment Center at White Plains Hospital, a founder of the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, Board Certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy by the American Board of Professional Psychology, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Cognitive and Behavioral Psychology. In the past years, I have also developed an interest in innovative ways to view and treat OCD, including subtle forms of OCD, and many worry states. I write a newsletter on Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts, and you can also read an article I co-authored with Dr. Sally Winston, published in the July/August issue of Psychotherapy Networker, (https://www.psychotherapynetworker.org/magazine/article/1027/upside-down-psychotherapy) Dr. Winston and I write a blog for Psychology Today titled, "Living with a Sticky Mind'.
