Patricia Schneider
With warm greetings, I inform that as a Clinical Psychologist, my mission is to guide you towards identifying and achieving your highest standard of excellence, as you reach and learn to believe and come to love your best self along the way. With that will come the capacity to successfully negotiate interpersonal, work life and family relationships, affording you meaningful and enduring connections, novel inspirations, motivating aspirations and opportunities for enhanced happiness and fulfillment. Together we will walk paths as a confident, bold, yet gentle spirit within you cultivates loving words and acts, ambitions and realizations. It will be my honor and privilege to serve you. I am a North American born NYS Licensed Psychologist with an array of international education and work experiences. I hold a PhD in Clinical Psychology and a four year postdoctoral specialization in Frommian Psychoanalysis. I have lived and worked in both Europe and Mexico, as well as in the USA and have treated a wide variety of culturally, ethnically, racially, religiously and linguistically diverse populations, as well as in age and symptom particularities. I am happy to provide culturally competent services to racially, ethnically, religiously and linguistically diverse populations. Amongst these are Latino, African-American, African, Native American, Asian, Middle Eastern, European, Jewish and those of other racial or ethnic backgrounds. To that end, in addition to English, I speak Spanish, Italian and French. I treat mainly adult and geriatric populations representing both diversity in age and symptom/diagnostic presentation. In terms of hobbies and leanings, I enjoy cultural pursuits: art, music, literature, dance and multicultural settings. I have worked in psychiatric hospitals and hospitals dedicated to medical illnesses wherein psychological problems are etiologically related to the disease in question, or are secondary to them. I have also worked in private practice spanning my professional career and in the corporate sector. I am passionate about my profession and understanding the many routes to discover the unknown and the truth. My interest is mission driven relating to a drive to help by activating one’s finer qualities and inspiring clients to speak to life with a higher voice. Languages: English, Spanish, Italian and French

Dr. Mikki Lee Elembaby
Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what’s going on internally? Whether you’re wrestling with academic pressures, struggling to understand why certain tasks feel harder than they should, or wondering if there’s more to why you feel anxious or disconnected, I’m here to help you find clarity and answers. I’m a psychologist in New York City with a focus on assessments that go beyond surface-level challenges, helping students like you understand who they are and what they need to succeed. Many of the students who find testing helpful are motivated, thoughtful, and want to know themselves better. They may feel like no matter how hard they try, something still feels off, or they feel out of sync with others. If you’ve been wondering if there’s a reason behind your difficulties with focus, social interactions, anxiety, or even low moods, psychological testing can help reveal what’s happening beneath the surface. I work especially well with students who want a deeper understanding of themselves, so they can navigate college life, relationships, and personal goals with confidence. The results of testing shouldn’t feel like another test to understand. My approach is about making sense of what’s going on in a clear, accessible way. My goal is for you to feel equipped to take on college – and life – with greater self-awareness and practical tools that work for you.

Kae Peterman
While I see people of all identities, I specialize in seeing youth and adults at the intersection of LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, and disabled experiences, including those in the kink and poly communities. My therapeutic approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and collaborative, working to find approaches that work best for you. As a queer, trans, and auDHD clinician, my work is grounded in the principles of disability justice and anti-oppressive frameworks that center your bodily autonomy and personal agency. I often see students and young adults who are working out how to best work with their neurotype to develop the life they want. This can involve building skills around executive functioning, getting comfortable recognizing and sitting with big feelings, finding new ways to approach relationships, and processing years of unmet support needs. We collaborate to find approaches that work for them, explore large questions around their experiences, and sit with big emotions. I also help those exploring their identity or challenges around being out as queer and trans. I also provide letters in support of gender-affirming care.

Madelyn Walters
With clinical experience across school-based and private practice settings, I'm a relationally focused therapist who helps adolescents and adults navigate difficult relationships, depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and patterns of thinking and behavior that feel stuck. I work with people who are struggling to understand why they feel the way they do and are ready to start making a change but don't know where to start. In our work together, I believe in creating a space where you can feel safe, understood, and accepted without judgment. Whether you're an adolescent navigating the pressures of growing up or an adult facing life's challenges, I strive to be a compassionate and collaborative partner to better understand your experiences, navigate challenges, and identify what you need to feel more grounded and fulfilled. I look forward to getting to know you and supporting you in creating meaningful change in your life. I'm passionate about helping people feel truly understood and supported, while creating space to explore where their struggles come from and develop the confidence and tools to move forward. Many of my patients also experience depression, which often intertwines with these challenges in ways we work through together. In our sessions, a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment is what you can count on. I use psychodynamic therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you understand where your negative thoughts and feelings come from and develop practical ways to address them. Relational and strengths-based, my style adapts to your unique needs, goals, and pace while ensuring empathy and honesty at all times. My path to becoming a therapist began with a deep fascination with people: the way our experiences shape who we are, how we think, and how we move through the world. That fascination has always drawn me to hearing people's stories and understanding what makes each person unique, and it eventually led me to social work and then to therapy, where I get to do exactly that every day. My clinical experiences deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, individualized care that meets each person where they are. Warmth, curiosity, and a nonjudgmental presence are what I bring to each session in my practice now. In my free time, I enjoy needlepoint, cooking, Pilates, walking my dog, and watching reality TV.

I am committed to equipping and empowering my clients with the necessary tools to effectively understand and manage their mental health.

Jessica Capuozzo
As a mental health professional with 26 years of experience, I am dedicated to helping children, adults, and geriatric populations navigate anxiety, depression, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and grief and loss. My approach is built upon the pillars of warmth, compassion, and evidence-based therapies, as I am passionate about the power of human connection and resilience. Let’s work together to discover your strengths and develop practical coping skills. I believe in creating a collaborative, open, and affirming environment that is tailored to your unique strengths and abilities. Your healing journey may include Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectal Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, art therapy (younger patients), and more approaches to help you manage self-doubt and develop healthy coping skills. At all times, I practice person-centered therapy, respecting your self-determination and honoring confidentiality, which helps me promote your best interest and develop a life worth living. I look forward to exploring your personal journey and experience in our work together. My path to becoming a therapist began as a mental health screener for the World Trade Center employees and volunteers who worked at ground zero after 9/11, who faced indescribable tragedy and environmental exposure to an unprecedented event in our nation's history. This experience shaped who I am and the compassionate, patient-focused therapist I strive to be, one that enables me to bring a comprehensive understanding of loss and grief to my practice now. When I’m not in the office, I enjoy spending time in the great outdoors, from hiking the trails to gardening at home. I also love music and volunteering in my community to strengthen connections.
