Emma D. Levine

I am a licensed clinical psychologist practicing Telehealth in New York and Connecticut. I received my doctorate in Counseling Psychology from Fordham University in New York City. I am also the founder of Perennial Wellness: www.perennialwellnessllc.com.

At Perennial Wellness, we are a collaborative team of clinicians who specialize in providing cognitive behavioral therapy for adult women.  Our areas of specialization include maternal mental health, anxiety, OCD, and mood disorders, as well relationship distress, career-related transitions, and perfectionism.  We also offer parent guidance and coaching.  I integrate a warm, compassionate stance with evidence-based cognitive behavioral strategies to help women develop the insight, information, and skills needed to overcome mood-related challenges and to cultivate resilience.

Prior to founding Perennial Wellness, I served as the Assistant Director of Cognitive Therapy for Women Psychological Services, a specialty group practice in New York City that addresses the unique mental health needs of women using a cognitive-behavioral treatment model. In this role, I treated adult women and provided in-depth training and supervision to our team of post-doctoral fellows.

My passion for working with women developed early on in my career. When I completed my APA-accredited Internship at Andrus Children’s Center, I specialized in using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) in my work with mothers and caregivers who were experiencing parenting-related stress and peripartum mood disorders. In this role, I was able to create lasting, positive and systematic change within my community, and this experience led to a broader interest in women’s health.

I completed my postdoctoral fellowship at Cognitive Therapy for Women Psychological Services, prior to entering into my role as Assistant Director. Since then, I’ve used CBT to help countless women identify the root of their distress and build the resiliency and coping strategies needed to thrive.

I have also served as an Adjunct Professor in the Graduate School of Education at Fordham University, where I trained masters- and doctoral- level students in the foundations of Counseling Psychology. Teaching and supervising has helped me maintain a connection to young adults and join emerging professionals on their journey toward a more meaningful life. In addition to practicing as a psychologist, I develop and implement presentations and workshops for various community groups around issues related to maternal mental health, parenting, child development.

I am also thrilled to be partnered with Expectful as their Mental Health Expert Advisor. In this role, I work closely with the Expectful team to help grow their maternal wellness offerings.  As a psychologist, I’ll be playing a role in running events, advising on content, and helping their communities of hopeful, expecting, and new moms get trusted support they need more easily. 

I am also an active member of a number of other professional groups and associations, including the American Psychological Association, Division 35: Society for the Psychology of Women and Postpartum Support International. I have completed advanced trainings in the treatment of Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders through the Seleni Institute in New York City.

If you're interested in learning more, I'd be thrilled to hear from you.  I offer free, brief phone consultations so that we can get to know one another and put in place an individualized support plan to best meet your treatment goals.
