Audrey Halpern

As a clinical psychologist, I have devoted my career to supporting the social-emotional development of children and adolescents. While the specific focus of therapy is individualized according to each child’s needs, much of the work I do centers around helping individuals develop self-awareness, healthy relationships, problem solving skills, and the ability to identify, regulate, and express emotions adaptively. I also regularly collaborate with parents to identify and address maladaptive patterns of behavior and communicate with their children more effectively. I work with clients with a range of presenting issues and diagnoses including, but not limited to anxiety, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), social pragmatic communication disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

In addition to my private practice, I am the Head of the Psychology Department at a special education school in NYC. In this role, I provide individual and group therapy, teacher consultation, parent support, and staff training and supervision.
