Dr. Gina Scarano-Osika, NY Psychologist 012289

Dr. Gina Scarano-Osika is a New York State licensed psychologist (NY Psychologist 012289) who combines a warm, inviting manner with careful, detailed diagnostic skills. She integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in her clinical work, and she also incorporates relational therapy techniques learned during training at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester. Together, these three approaches form the core of her therapeutic style and inform the way she tailors treatment to each person’s needs.

Alongside her clinical work, Dr. Scarano-Osika and her husband founded a private practice two decades ago. What began as a small partnership of two providers has grown to a team of fifteen, reflecting steady development and an emphasis on collaborative care. She is candid about areas outside her preferred scope of practice and does not consider herself proficient in gender dysphoria and LGBQ concerns.

Dr. Scarano-Osika recognizes that beginning therapy can be a challenging step and consistently acknowledges and praises those who take it. Her approach centers on creating a supportive environment while applying evidence-informed techniques to help clients move forward.
