Meet Deirdre

With 20 years of experience in mental health and substance use services, I am committed to providing compassionate care. I combine evidence-based therapies with personal insights from my own recovery journey.

My expertise in Sociometric and Psychodramatic therapies offers innovative solutions for trauma and emotional wellness.

Throughout my career, I had the privilege of working at world-renowned hospitals like Mount Sinai and the VA, as well as local community clinics like the Jewish Board and the Guidance Center of Westchester.

These roles have shaped me into a culturally humble clinician, experienced in supporting veterans, the LGBTQIA+ community, and those in polyamorousor non-monogamous relationships. Whether you are navigating neurodivergence or managing symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, or Bi-polar disorder, my background in social work means I look at the "whole person," providing a level of comprehensive care that sets my practice apart.

My Skills

I returned to school and trained to become a CASAC (Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor) followed by 3 years at NYU Silver School of Social Work graduating with high honors and an MSW.

After completing my degree, I’ve pursued specialized training in CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing, and I’m currently expanding my practice through membership in "Core" training at the Hudson Valley Psychodrama Institute in Highland, NY.
