Meet the Founders
We are clinical psychologists who first met during our psychology internship training at St. Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital in New York City. We each worked and trained in a variety of settings, including hospital-based outpatient care, university counseling centers, community mental health clinics, and in our own private practices. We built Mind Matters with the idea that the current medical model has grown increasingly disconnected and that our patients deserve more. We are committed to providing a homebase for our patients, where providers listen carefully and work collaboratively to effectively address your specific needs. In short, our vision for Mind Matters grew out of the need for a more collaborative and interdisciplinary team-based approach to mental health care.
Having both worked in private practice, hospital settings, schools and university settings, we are uniquely positioned to create a therapeutic program with a highly specialized, team-based and tailored approach for individuals across the life span.
