General Info

Peter Meiland Ph.D New York City Based Clinical Psychologist My experience in psychotherapy and testing with a wide range of clients began in 1998, when I entered graduate school in Clinical Psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University. I earned my doctorate (Ph.D.) there in 1995, and trained as a psychoanalyst between 2002 and 2008 in order to deepen my skills and understanding in helping my clients. I have been in private practice in the Union Square neighborhood since 1996, and have also worked in a number of clinical and educational settings. For ten years, I taught in the Psychology Department at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, C.U.N.Y, and for four of those years, taught at New York University in their Continuing Education program. Between 1998 and 2002, I worked as a staff psychologist at the Learning Disabilities Unit of the S.U.N.Y. College of Optometry, a multi-disciplinary environment where I developed an expertise in diagnosing learning disabilities and developmental delays, mostly with children in grade school. Philosophy and Approaches to Clinical Psychology and Therapy: My approach to doing therapy is different for each person I see, so it’s hard to describe myself in simple terms. While my training and background is broadly psychoanalytic, I am interactive with my clients, and don’t fit the mold of the silent analyst. I am supportive, direct in my ways of talking about problems, and have a good sense of humor. It is not hard to know who I am when you meet with me. One strong assumption for me is that people are the “experts” in their own lives. This may not be how they feel in the first meeting, but the process of therapy should help people find strength in themselves and make courageous choices and take risks in their lives.
