Amy Rosenthal (She/Her)

A graduate of NYU's School of Social Work with over fifteen years of experience in New York City, I work with individuals and families navigating life transitions, creative challenges, and mental health concerns. My personal and professional experiences enable me to connect authentically with patients from diverse backgrounds and create a therapeutic space where healing can flourish.

Specialized Training: I recently completed the White Institute's EDCAS program, which focuses on the theory and practice of treating eating concerns, body image, affect regulation, substance addiction, relationships, exercise and internet usage. Additional training includes the Manhattan Institute for Psychoanalysis's Program in Trauma Studies, Advanced Psychodynamic Psychotherapy at NYU (PANY), Psychoanalytic Fellowship at New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute (NYPSI), Mentalization-Based Therapy at the Anna Freud Center, Parent-Infant Psychotherapy at Columbia University, Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorder Certification from Postpartum Support International (PSI), Seminars with Anthony Bateman, Esther Perel, Irwin Yalom, Frank G. Anderson, MD., Beatrice Beebe, Bjorn Salomonsson, Howard Steele, Nancy McWilliams, Frances Sommer Anderson, Elizabeth Howell, and Sheldon Itzkowitz.

Clinical Focus: I specialize in working with writers, actors, musicians, dancers, and other creative people, understanding the unique intersection of creativity, identity, and mental health. As Clinical Director of Creatives Care, a non-profit connecting NYC artists to affordable mental health care, I've seen firsthand how creative work can both inspire and challenge us. I am an active member of the Performing Arts Medicine Association, the International Association for Dance Science and Medicine, and a member of the Backline provider network.

I enjoy supervising new and experienced therapists working with adults and children, and offer practice building consultation to therapists entering private practice. I have also provided mental health consultation services to New York City's child welfare agency, the Administration for Children's Services (ACS).

Commitment to Diversity: I am dedicated to working sensitively with patients from all racial, ethnic, religious and national backgrounds, social and economic classes, genders, sexual identities, and orientations. I am a sex positive, poly-, and kink-affirming clinician.

Therapy is fundamentally about connection, growth, and reclaiming your authentic self. I'm honored to walk alongside my patients as they navigate their journeys, and I remain committed to my own continuous learning through training, peer collaboration, and the profound wisdom my patients share with me.
