Dr. Dana E. Crawford is a licensed clinical psychologist and Black woman therapist based in New York City. She sees clients in person on Manhattan's Upper West Side, across from Central Park, and online throughout New York State.

For more than 23 years, Dr. Crawford has helped people — especially high-achieving Black women — move from survival mode into genuine wholeness. Her practice specializes in anxiety, racial trauma, grief, chronic pain, and the particular exhaustion of holding it all together in spaces that were not built for you. She integrates trauma-focused therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and medical hypnosis into care that is both clinically rigorous and deeply human.

Dr. Crawford is the author of Healing Bias (W.W. Norton, 2025) and the creator of R.A.C.E. Cards, and she developed the Crawford Bias Reduction Theory & Training (CBRT) — a framework she now teaches to hospitals, universities, and institutions across the country. Before entering private practice, she built and led one of the largest trauma-informed care programs in the nation at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, and completed her residency training at Columbia University. A former nurse, she holds degrees from Howard University, Temple University, and Miami University, with certifications in medical hypnosis and biofeedback.

She has treated patients in Philadelphia, Cincinnati, New Orleans, San Antonio, and the Bronx — but Harlem is home, and New York is where she practices.

If you've been searching for a therapist who can hold all of it — the clinical, the cultural, and the personal — you've found her.
