Dr. D'Ortona has been a licensed clinical psychologist for 25 years and received his doctoral degree from the University of Hartford’s Graduate Institute of Professional Psychology.
Dr. D'Ortona specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is an evidenced-based, empirically-validated therapy that subscribes to the basic concept that “the way one thinks about things, affects how one feels emotionally, how one sees the world and oneself, influences what one does, and how one sees the future”. He also is a Diplomate of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy, which is an internationally accepted accrediting body for clinicians who desire to be recognized for their advanced training and practice experience in cognitive therapy.
