Dr Baitler is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Private Practice.
I specialize in young adults and adults seeking individual or couples counseling for issues related to relationships, professional difficulties, depression and anxiety.

I am a psychotherapist offering virtual therapy in NY and NJ. I specialize in issues related to fertility, family building, pregnancy loss, perinatal mental health and the transition to parenthood.

I have been working for over 35 years as a clinical psychologist with children, adults and families. Over this period, I have developed expertise as an individual and couples psychotherapist, parent coordinator and educator for divorcing families.

I'm a Brooklyn-based psychotherapist offering online and in-person therapy across New York. I work with individuals navigating climate anxiety and eco-distress, parenthood, pregnancy loss, career changes, and other major life transitions. My approach is collaborative and grounded in insight—shaped by warmth, curiosity, and a deep respect for your inner world. I bring humor, honesty, and compassion into the therapy room, and I welcome all parts of you, especially the ones that feel messy, uncertain, or hard to name.

As a clinical psychologist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, my area of specialty is somatic psychotherapy. In my previous role as Director of Counseling Services at Columbia University’s Irving Medical Center, I created the Postdoctoral Psychology Training Program in University Counseling: Trauma and Somatic Studies that focuses on issues of embodiment and intersectionality in psychotherapy with an eye toward the impact of trauma, whether that be acute trauma, developmental trauma, and/or structural trauma, such as racism, transphobia, and the like. I offer an embodied psychotherapy approach which anchors therapeutic work in awareness of sensation and uses the body as a touchstone in guiding the process.

In my private practice I offer psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy in which I strive to create a relationship and process in which it is possible to articulate a narrative of your self and your life that can be experienced as resonant and authentic, towards an alleviation of that which ails you. Your personal, historical, and cultural formation is critical in our exploration of who you are and who you strive to become. The state of being anxious or depressed or melancholic is one we will together attempt to understand as a surfacing of a deep and interior self to be understood and integrated.
