Dr. Rose Bryant-Tuckett

“I am Dr. Rose Bryant-Tuckett, one of the few African-American psychologists with an office in the Bronx, New York. I use short-term therapy aimed at problem identification and resolution. My goal is to foster the patient’s self-confidence and recognition of personal strengths in the service of his/her independent functioning. Therapy focus is on current issues and functioning as well as the development of effective life coping skills. However, my initial training was in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Therefore, childhood family patterns and transference are explored,as necessary,to increase the patient’s self-understanding and awareness of self-defeating defense mechanisms.”
