Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in New York

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals, couples, children, adolescents, and families. I hold a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, a master’s degree in School Counseling, and a bachelor’s degree in Social Science. My professional background includes providing therapy in private practice, school, home, and community-based settings.

I specialize in relationship concerns, family conflict, anxiety, emotional regulation, parenting challenges, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem, and communication difficulties. I also work with couples who want to strengthen their emotional connection, rebuild trust, improve intimacy, and develop healthier ways of managing conflict.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client’s needs. I incorporate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, family systems interventions, and Gottman-informed techniques. I strive to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful and lasting change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in New York and Vermont, with more than eight years of experience. I work with women and adults in their 20s through 40s who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. When life feels overwhelming, therapy can offer space to slow down, feel understood, and reconnect with yourself. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can be open and honest.

My focus is working with people who may be feeling overwhelmed, worried, depressed, or struggling to manage daily stress. Much of my experience and training is focused on women and families experiencing mood challenges when having a baby (perinatal mood and anxiety disorders), infertility, and adjusting to the many changes during this time. Also, I have much experience working with pre-teens and adolescents who may be struggling emotionally and/or behaviorally.

I am a New York state and New Jersey state licensed clinical psychologist. I received my doctorate in psychology from Long Island University-Post. I completed an APA accredited internship from Mt. Sinai Services-Elmhurst Hospital Center. I received postdoctoral training from New York University Counseling and Wellness Services. I specialize in working with adults with concerns regarding career, relationships, life transitions, identity, anxiety, eating disorder/body image, and grief/loss.

Hi, I’m Dr. Peleya Patterson LCSW, DSW. I help people find calm, clarity and confidence through soul work - no matter what life throws your way.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years experience and a Doctorate in Social Work, I offer compassionate, evidence-based support for adolescents, adults and families navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

If anxiety, self-doubt, or feeling emotionally stuck is getting in the way of the life you want, therapy can help. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, mood concerns, self-esteem, identity, while being conscious of the impact of culture and trauma.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in CBT, mindfulness, and holistic care. Together, we’ll build practical tools while exploring the deeper patterns shaping how you see yourself and relate to others.

When we work together, my hope is that you experience warmth, curiosity, and grounded expertise. I believe that honesty, transparency, and clear boundaries are what make therapy feel safe, effective, and genuinely collaborative.

My goal is for you to leave therapy with greater clarity, self-trust, and confidence in your ability to move forward.

I believe the therapeutic process is about relationship and connection. I love supporting people through the difficulties of life. In doing so, I love to laugh, joke, connect, be real, and down to earth. I have a thought-provoking approach to treatment. My approach allows me to directly connect with clients in a manner that is comfortable and authentic. Through treatment I provide my clients with healthy challenges, and autonomy in guiding their own treatment.

I am a clinical psychotherapist with almost a decade of experience working with couples and adults who want to better understand themselves, and work towards creating the lives and relationships they crave.

I’m a graduate of Columbia University’s School of Social Work and I have been working in community mental health for more than a decade.
