A board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and psychotherapist with 14+ years experience in psychiatry providing medication management and psychotherapy to adolescents and adults — virtually, throughout New York. Joelle is in network with Aetna and Optum (including sub-payers such as United, Oxford, Oscar). She is both a psychiatric prescriber and a trained psychotherapist, and draws on both throughout every appointment.

Trained in the tradition of psychodynamic psychotherapy, I spent many years initially treating patients with severe and persistent psychiatric disorders and eventually teaching and supervising in the residency and psychology internship programs at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. After some additional years doing administrative work for the NYS Office of Mental Health (several facilities), I switched my focus from a public health perspective to independent practice, continuing my work individually with adults as well as with couples and families. Although my primary orientation toward psychopathology and treatment continues to be psychodynamic, I occasionally integrate some cognitive behavioral tools into the psychotherapy; I was certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy when the treatment was initiated at the facility in which I was an administrator.

I am a clinical psychologist and run a small group practice in NYC called City Lights Psychology (www.citylightspsychology.com). I was formerly a staff psychologist at The Motherhood Center of New York. I work primarily with women and their families during the perinatal period and couples across the lifespan. I work from a psychoanalytic framework, specifically object relations, and also have training in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples. My approach is integrative, warm, and direct.
