Dr. Lorin Singh

Psychologist

Virtual • New York


Hi, I'm Dr. Lorin Singh, a licensed psychologist providing telehealth therapy for adults throughout New York.

Over the past decade, I've worked in psychiatric hospitals, outpatient clinics, community mental health, leadership, and private practice. These experiences have allowed me to support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, OCD, burnout, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

My goal is to create a space where you feel understood without judgment. Therapy doesn't have to feel overly clinical or intimidating. I believe in meeting people where they are, helping them better understand themselves, and building practical tools that create meaningful, lasting change.

My passion is to provide psychotherapy to individual adults and late teens.
