Dr. Nikki Weishoff is a licensed clinical psychologist in New York, New Jersey, and Florida, offering psychotherapy services via telehealth and in person in New York. She works with individuals and couples across the lifespan and facilitates group therapy. She welcomes clients from a range of cultural, ethnic, and spiritual backgrounds, sexual orientations, and gender identities.
Her areas of clinical expertise include depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, OCD, family conflict, oppositional defiant disorder in childhood, personality disorders, infant mental health, and reproductive mental health concerns, including perinatal and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, fertility challenges, and pregnancy loss. She also has a particular specialization in dyadic (parent-infant) psychotherapy, with an emphasis on attachment and the parent-infant relationship.
Her clinical work is informed by psychodynamic and relational frameworks, integrating techniques from mindfulness, CBT, and DBT techniques as clinically appropriate. She encourages clients to approach their experiences and relationships with curiosity, fostering greater self-awareness, acceptance, and emotional growth. Her work is characterized by warmth, empathy, flexibility, and collaboration. She strives to create a nurturing therapeutic environment where clients feel safe to explore, express themselves, and examine both their interpersonal relationships and the therapeutic relationship itself. She recognizes the value of gently challenging clients while honoring their individual experiences and supporting meaningful change.
Dr. Nikki Weishoff received her doctoral degree from the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Yeshiva University in New York. Her clinical training spans a broad range of populations, clinical presentations, and treatment modalities, with experience across settings including Montefiore Medical Center, Zucker Hillside Hospital - Northwell Health, New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute (NYPSI), and Mount Sinai Beth Israel. She further developed her expertise in reproductive psychology through a postdoctoral fellowship at The Motherhood Center of New York, where she subsequently joined the team as a staff psychologist, providing individual and group therapy within the perinatal partial hospitalization program (PHP).
