Teenagers wrestling with identity, adults facing midlife crises, couples navigating conflict—Michael A. Civin, Ph.D. has spent thirty years proving that great psychology transcends age.
At Rose Hill Psychological Services in the Bronx and his private practices in Manhattan, Astoria, and Bayville, he treats the full spectrum of human experience. His secret? Psychodiagnostic testing sophisticated enough to reveal truths at any life stage, delivered with empathy deep enough to make those truths bearable.
The toolkit he brings to every session was forged across five decades: Harvard cum laude 1968, Albert Einstein College of Medicine training, University of Oregon M.A. 1970, then a triumphant return to earn Adelphi’s M.A. in Clinical Psychology (1986), Ph.D. (1988), and Postdoctoral Certificate (1993).
Whether guiding a nervous fifteen-year-old through personality assessment or helping a fifty-year-old executive unpack decades of patterns, Michael A. Civin approaches each case with the same meticulous care. Group therapy, supervision, and individual sessions all benefit from his rare ability to make complex science feel profoundly human.
Patients leave his office not just with diagnoses, but with roadmaps—clear, evidence-based, and tailored to wherever they are on life’s timeline. After thirty years, that whole-lifespan philosophy remains the heartbeat of his practice.
