Dr. Naeema Akter, PsyD

Dr. Naeema Akter, PsyD

Psychologist
224 W 30th St, New York, NY
When overwhelmed by the world and those around you, you may feel dissatisfied or drained by your relationships, occupation, and other aspects of your life. Or you might be curious about your inner experiences and want to learn more about yourself to become more self-aware, present, and skilled at handling life’s challenges. You deserve a therapist who will work with you to improve the quality of your life. This can be achieved by building effective skills such as self-soothing, problem-solving, emotion regulation, and fostering healthy relationships while ending destructive ones. I hold a PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Widener University, which informs my compassionate and evidence-based approach to therapy. We are an out-of-network private practice, so please check with your insurance company about your out-of-pocket costs. We do not accept Medicaid.

Getting to know Dr. Naeema Akter

When overwhelmed by the world and those around you, you may feel dissatisfied or drained by your relationships, occupation, and other aspects of your life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My doctoral training and many years of delivering psychotherapy have provided me with extensive experience helping adults with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, trauma, identity exploration, adjustment and life transition issues, and other life situations. I also have experience in outpatient and inpatient hospitals and community mental health clinics.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Therapy is a collaborative approach, where I am warm, empathic, curious and nonjudgmental and can help you create and live a life you find fulfilling. My integrative approach is well-suited for addressing interpersonal and multicultural issues. I work from a social justice-oriented and trauma-informed lens to provide you with culturally competent treatment.
