Therapists in New York

Dr. Floyd Phillips, of the New York Institute of Health and Behavior, Inc. was born and raised in the Harlem community, where he attended the public school system and subsequently graduated from City College of New York with a B.A. in psychology. His commitments to the Harlem community lead him into community organizing and civil service employment with Special Services for Children; he was awarded the human Resources Fellowship to Columbia University’s School of Social Work, where he earned his M.S. in social work. Dr. Phillips spent the next 15 years teaching and working with mentally ill consumers, mentally retarded consumers and substance abusers. He later attended the Postgraduate Center for Mental Health. After seven years of study and training, he was awarded certifications in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and group psychotherapy. Dr. Phillips is also licensed by the state of New York as a psychoanalyst and a social worker (LCSW-R). He was accepted into Columbia University’s doctoral program of health and behavioral studies. He completed the course work and extensive research in the area of health education, behavioral health and health disparities; he was awarded an EdD in health education and behavior studies. With the collaboration of 10 researchers, scholars and clinicians, Dr. Phillips found The New York Institute of Health and Behavior (NYIHB); a grassroots nonprofit organization born out of the curriculum and interests of the health and behavior studies department in Teachers College, Columbia University. NYIHB employs research, education and treatment in the areas of mental health, mental retardation, substance abuse, public health and health disparities to enhance health in the state of New York. Dr. Floyd Phillips is a licensed Clinical Social Worker and a licensed Psychoanalyst in New York state with over 25 years of experience working as a psychocounselor and life coach. He has worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief and loss, substance abuse issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. Dr. Phillips employs various methods of psychotherapy including psychoanalysis.

My name is Amelia Peck, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Western New York. I love being in a profession that helps people get through tough situations with extra support. I have practiced for nearly 10 years helping people work through anxiety, relationship issues, and many other areas that can make us feel stuck in our journey. Therapy is a wonderful, and confidential, way to explore why you are where you are and how to get where you really want to go. As a therapist, I love to connect with you through empathy and listen to what you hope to accomplish from your time here. I am warm but direct, and believe change can happen for you. In my experience with online therapy, it is a fabulous way to tailor the work you do here to meet your needs and your schedule. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Hi and welcome to Better Help! My name is Erin Wirth and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of New York with over ten years of experience in the mental health field and five years as a therapist. I enjoy working with adults, teens and children and my specialties include working with those individuals with developmental disabilities, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship stressors, life transitions, eating disorders and addiction. It is my belief that the therapeutic relationship can only truly flourish when rooted in unconditional positive regard and acceptance. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a safe space for clients to relearn the concept of vulnerability as a strength and that true intimacy, acceptance and connection can only come from a place where we allow ourselves to be seen as fully and imperfectly human. I am a firm believer in utilizing therapy as a source of empowerment and strength, and encourage clients to not allow their problems and/or diagnoses to define them. I believe that we are meant to experience the full spectrum of human emotions (not just the shiny, happy ones!) and when we allow ourselves to accept and hold space for these so-called "negative" emotions, it takes away their power. We can choose to view pain as a source of suffering or as a transformative experience. Utilizing the various therapeutic modalities of Cognitive-Behavioral therapy, Dialectical-Behavioral therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Person-Centered therapy in conjunction with mindfulness-based practices such as radical self-acceptance, non-judgment and gratitude, I believe that we're able to move past those emotions that keep us "stuck." I look forward to supporting and guiding you on your journey towards growth and self-acceptance. I am available for chat, email, and phone/video sessions.
