Hi I am Dr. Tricia Rampersad. I earned my BA in Communications & Journalism at Fairleigh Dickinson University, MA in Counseling Psychology at NJ City University, and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (PsyD) at California Southern University.
I have over 20 + of experience treating adults with depression, OCD, and anxiety disorders. I also enjoy working with the LGBT community.
Training: Berkeley CBT Clinic, NJ Medical Center.
Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals and families across diverse clinical settings. My career began in group homes working with adolescents and adults living with chronic mental illness, followed by work with the Department of Children and Families, Visiting Nurse Association and Crisis Intervention through the hospital Emergency Department where I developed strong skills in assessment, stabilization, and systems navigation.
For the past 10 years, I have specialized in Integrated Behavioral Health within a primary care setting, collaborating closely with medical providers to deliver whole-person, accessible mental health care.
I earned my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from Marist College and my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Fordham University. I utilize a range of evidence-based and client-centered treatment modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), insight-oriented therapy, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. My work is grounded in helping clients build insight, develop coping strategies, and move toward meaningful, sustainable change.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, substance use, stress, or major life transitions, I provide a supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. I work with adults 18+ who are ready to better understand themselves, build healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful change in their lives. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely connected with your therapist. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental.

There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.” — John Green I have worked in the field of social work for over ten years, driven by a passion that began while supporting adolescents in a clinical day school setting. That early experience solidified my commitment to furthering my education and pursuing a career in social work. Throughout my career, I have gained experience across a variety of settings, including schools, medical facilities, child welfare, outpatient care, and crisis services. This diverse background has allowed me to develop a flexible, client-centered approach tailored to individuals’ unique needs.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Stamford
Finding the right therapist in Stamford starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Common reasons people seek therapy here include anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and work-related stress. Stamford's fast-paced environment and high cost of living can add pressure, and many residents benefit from working with a licensed provider — such as an LCSW, LPC, LMFT, or psychologist — who has experience with these concerns. If you're looking for medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner may be the right fit.
Stamford is home to a diverse community, and finding a provider who understands your background can make a real difference. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a specific specialty, a preferred therapy style like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), language spoken, or whether you'd prefer virtual or in-person sessions. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.
Therapy in Fairfield County can be expensive, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist in Stamford who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
