Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Mount Vernon, NY covered by United Healthcare

Hello and welcome! I’m Dr. Kerrin Sendrowitz O’Connor, a licensed psychologist based in New York and Wisconsin. I specialize in helping adults work through interpersonal difficulties, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, sleep issues, and grief. I also have a special focus on supporting expecting parents, new parents, and individuals navigating the challenges of fertility and parenthood.

In therapy, my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, cared for, and truly connected. I work collaboratively with my clients to identify patterns that may be preventing them from reaching their full potential, whether in their mental health or in achieving their broader life goals. While I bring my expertise as a psychologist to our work, I also believe that you are the expert of your own life. Together, we’ll explore your unique identity and experiences in order to make meaningful changes.

Life is hard enough, starting therapy doesn't have to make it harder. As your therapist, I am dedicated to guiding you through life's challenges and helping you become the best version of yourself. I use a blend of psychodynamic and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, I emphasize the importance of relationships and meet you where you are on your unique journey. Let's collaborate in a safe, judgment-free space, exploring your unique journey and strengthening your connections for positive change.

I currently work at a private practice and have many years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults as a social worker and therapist. I received a Master of Social Work degree at the University of South Carolina. I specialized in studying, children, youth and their families.

I integrate evidenced-based practices, tailored to each individual's needs. These include, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and a client-centered approach.

My therapeutic approach focuses on my belief that when it comes to an individual’s life, they are the expert. However, managing that alone can be cumbersome and stressful. As a therapist, I’m interested in collaborating with you to discover what parts of your life you hope to keep or perhaps enrich and what factors you want to change. I look to combine my experience with my clinical knowledge to aid clients in their journey to becoming their best selves.

I'm a therapist trained in Psychoanalysis and Creative Arts Therapies with twenty years years of experience.

I have experience working with depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship issues, sexual difficulties, trauma, loss, end of life issues, and coping with medical illness. My practice is diverse in terms of culture, race, and sexual orientation. I offer online telehealth in NY and CT. Please reach out with any further questions or to make an appointment.

I hold a Doctorate in Psychology, and have worked in mental health since 1999. My work has been with adults, children and adolescents. I have met and effectively worked with patients in settings of all sort, including campus and community settings, day treatment, inpatient, outpatient, chemical dependency, residential programs and even pet-therapy.

I believe that the therapy relationship has the ability to provide healing, growth and change. Finding a therapist who helps you feel safe, supported and challenged is central to this process. My style is warm and curious as well as direct and challenging.

My professional journey has spanned a range of settings, including private practice, a program serving adults with severe mental illness, residential treatment center for adolescents, mobile mental health services, and mental health urgent care.

Therapy has the potential to be a transformative experience. I have found people realize the benefit of therapy when they learn how to communicate and advocate for themselves compassionately, practice setting better boundaries, love themselves and others more fully, start to listen to their feelings as teachers and compasses pointing to important lessons, and when they begin to trust themselves as they are, to live authentically and unapologetically. Therapy with me is informed by Social Justice, Allyship, Anti-Racism and is Affirming of all Identities, including, Neurodivergent, Sexual, and Gender.
