About

Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Dr. Faith Schombs (she/her). I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist based in New York. With over a decade of experience, my passion has always been helping people on their journey toward well-being, growth, insight, and self-understanding. I offer a safe, non-judgmental, compassionate space and will work with you to uncover your strengths, cultivate resilience, and build a life where you can thrive.

Education & Licensure
PsyD in Clinical Psychology from University College London (UCL), London, UK; Masters in Psychology from New York University (NYU), New York, NY; Bachelors in Psychology from Connecticut College, New London, CT
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My motivation for specializing in neurodivergent care comes from seeing how often the world overlooks or misunderstands neurodivergent clients. So many individuals spend decades "masking" their authentic traits to fit into a neurotypical society, leading to quiet burnout, anxiety, or a lingering feeling of being an outsider. I chose this path because I want to help neurodivergent clients rewrite that narrative. An assessment shouldn't be about finding out what is "wrong"; it is a collaborative discovery process to find the user manual for your unique brain. I am passionate about helping you transition from carrying the heavy burden of masking to finally experiencing the relief of self-understanding. I know how hard it can be to find care if you are neurodivergent, and I am here to help!

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

My approach to care is fundamentally affirming, culturally responsive, and strengths-based. I do not view neurodivergence through a lens of “deficits” to be "fixed”. Instead, we will work together to map out your unique profile, figure out how to utilize your strengths to navigate life’s challenges and achieve personal goals, as well as help you realize your full potential. I am committed to providing a space where neurodivergent clients can express themselves authentically and leave feeling understood, supported, and empowered.
