Dr. Renan Erkut-Petermann

I am a licensed Psychologist in New Jersey and a licensed Mental Health Counselor in NY. I earned my doctorate from the New School for Social Research, which is now known as the New School. I am currently offering tele-health services to adolescents (12+), adults and couples through Headway. I specialize in helping people with depression and bipolar disorder, OCD, Anxiety, ADHD. I also am skilled in identity issues related to emerging adulthood, pre-post natal adjustment to parenting challenges, acculturation issues, and marital conflicts. I obtained my extensive experience in hospital, community mental health, and private group practice settings and am well versed with the latest research on treatment modalities.

I am a multi-culturally sensitive clinician who has been described as warm, supportive and engaging. I am a humanist, interested in the whole person. Growth and development is my focus in life and I aim to inspire that in my clients at every step of their journey with me. In my work, I bring in curiosity, multi-cultural sensitivity, many years of experience, and a little bit of life wisdom into sessions as I collaborate with my clients and help create opportunities for self-awareness, change and growth.

During our work together, my eclectic skill in many therapeutic modalities will allow me to tailor therapy to your needs. Together, we will take a growth oriented lens toward an improved, fulfilled you. My goal will be to empower you, to help you gain a greater sense of agency over your feelings and thoughts that hold you hostage. You will not only understand yourself better but will also gain skills and tools that will allow you to better manage your life on your terms.
