Todd Bresnick

Todd Bresnick approaches psychology as a discipline that draws equally from science, culture, and spirit. His practice integrates psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, Buddhist, and mindfulness frameworks, and he has developed Synaesthetic Surround — an original technique using light, sound, and vibration to influence brainwaves and catalyze deeper, accelerated therapeutic change. That research foundation is central to how he works: his doctoral training at Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology and his academic role as a Research Scientist at NYU inform a practice that is both clinically rigorous and genuinely exploratory.

Dr. Bresnick works with adults, teenagers, couples, and families facing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and the quieter strains of contemporary life — the restlessness that arrives at midnight through a phone screen, the professional burnout that accumulates without ceremony. His clinical history includes fellowship training at NYU Medical Center – Bellevue Hospital and NYU-affiliated outpatient programs, where he gained experience with trauma survivors, pain management, and family systems.

He maintains private practices in Manhattan and Brooklyn and is Founder and Director of Breukelen Therapeutic, a multidisciplinary center offering psychology, psychiatry, acupuncture, and massage therapy. Online sessions are available.
