ABOUT ME

Welcome! I am Dr. Rebecca Shingleton, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist practicing in Massachusetts and New York. Thank you for visiting my website – here you’ll find a bit about who I am and how I work. If you have any questions or want to learn more, I’d be happy to hear from you.

​

I work with adults experiencing challenges like anxiety, panic, phobias, OCD, depression, and eating disorders. I also support people navigating life’s everyday stressors—whether that’s work pressures, relationship issues, or big transitions. My aim is to create a compassionate and open environment in order to address my patients’ concerns. I use evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance-based strategies to help people make meaningful changes. These methods are backed by research, and I tailor them to fit each person’s specific needs and goals.

​

I completed my undergraduate degree in psychology at Princeton University, research assistantship at Columbia University Medical Center, doctoral studies at Boston University’s Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders, clinical internship at Weill Cornell Medicine, and postdoctoral training at the VA Boston Healthcare System. In these settings, I have trained with international experts in cognitive behavioral therapy and the treatment of emotional disorders.  In addition to my private practice, I am on the faculty at Harvard University where I teach graduate and undergraduate students. I have also consulted for digital therapeutic companies seeking to integrate cognitive behavioral strategies and research into their product. I have received funding from the National Institute of Mental Health, published over 30 papers and book chapters, and have presented on a range of topics pertaining to mental health both nationally and internationally.
