Dr. Nicole Maleh

I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in private practice, where I work with children, adults, and families to navigate life’s most meaningful (and challenging) moments. Whether you're facing a transition, parenting stress, emotional overwhelm, or relationship struggles, I provide a warm, collaborative space to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and begin the process of change. I offer both in-person sessions in Westchester and virtual therapy across New York State.

My specializations are in child/adolescent psychotherapy, family therapy, and perinatal mental health. I also have significant experience treating medically complex individuals and those navigating high-risk behaviors, suicidality, and trauma. I tailor therapy to your unique needs—integrating active listening, practical strategies, and evidence-based tools.

I believe psychotherapy is a space where we can make sense of your internal experience—your thoughts, feelings, memories, and patterns —and begin to relate to yourself and others with greater clarity and compassion. I approach our work together with deep respect for your inner world and the courage it takes to share it.

You can expect the following steps as we get started:

• Free 15-minute phone consultation
• Schedule by phone or through website for first appointment
• First several appointments will focus on my getting to know you, your background, and why you are coming to therapy at this time
• I will present you with an overview: What I believe will be the focus of our work (may involve helping you understand your diagnosis); An estimated timeline of our therapy; For family and/or child therapy, a plan for how to organize our sessions and who will be present for sessions (e.g., sessions with child only, parent sessions separately 2x/month)
