About

So pleased to meet you! My name is Cherie and I live in Western Connecticut. I am licensed in the States of Connecticut, New York, and PsyPact, which allows me to practice telemedicine in 42 States. My take is this: psychological assessment and therapy are wonderful gifts to experience in life. I believe that self knowledge and reflection are essential to health and healing. We are all on a healing journey, whatever our neurological style! My aim is to help you learn more about yourself, particularly your strengths. We often get clouded by what's hard and not working, and lose sight of our essential resilience and remarkable abilities. I hope for us to partner and enjoy a positive connection in this important learning process.

Education & Licensure
PsyD in Adult Clinical Psychology from Yeshiva University, Bronx NY; MA in Psychology from New York University; BA/MA in English Literature from Georgetown University, Washington DC; Certificate in Psychoanalysis from the National Institutes for the Psychotherapies in NYC; Certificate in EMDR therapy from EMDRIA NYC
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I believe in the uniqueness of the individual, particularly those with neurodivergent experiences. Folks on the autism spectrum have much to teach the world about difference, sensitivity, and kindness. Your lens is different, and that's what I love! Working with autism and neurodiversity is an incredible gift for the psychologist or clinician, and I look forward to getting to know and assist every unique person!

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I actively listen and look for strengths in each person, affirming your experience and helping us to gain a deeper understanding of your wishes. Life goals, including work, love, leisure and play? Let's learn more in a safe and positive space together!
