“Dr. Underwood is the ideal therapist for me. Her sensitivity to women’s mental health, highlighted in her profile, immediately caught my attention. She is highly intelligent, empathetic, and supportive, and she articulates my feelings more effectively than I can based on what I share. This process aids in developing my reframing skills. I look forward to our future sessions.”

Getting to know Dr. Emily Underwood
Dr. Emily Underwood is a limited permit psychologist at Dr. Inzinna Psychological Services PLLC who works with adolescents and adults, with a focus on trauma recovery and women’s mental health. She earned her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (PsyD) from the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology and completed her APA-accredited internship at Allegheny Health Network, where she received specialized training in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Dr. Underwood has experience providing therapy in a variety of settings, including Bellevue Hospital’s inpatient psychiatry unit, the Brooklyn VA’s Military Sexual Trauma Clinic, Ramapo College’s counseling center, and the Parnes Clinic. Her approach to therapy integrates psychodynamic principles with evidence-based strategies to create personalized, flexible treatment plans that meet each client’s unique needs.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Emily’s therapeutic approach is rooted in relational psychoanalytic thinking, which views therapy as a collaborative process created together by client and therapist. She offers a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where clients can feel safe to explore their inner world, reflect on past experiences, and work toward meaningful change. With a trauma-informed perspective, Emily helps clients make sense of their life stories while also fostering the capacity to create new ones; narratives that reflect resilience, agency, and possibility. By balancing open exploration with evidence-based strategies, she supports clients in healing from trauma, achieving personal goals, and discovering new ways of living with greater clarity and self-compassion.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our process begins with getting to know one another and determining if we are a good fit to work together. From there, we explore what brings you to therapy and identify the approaches and tools that may best support you. This work is collaborative and adaptable, guided by reflection, with the goal of fostering self-discovery, personal growth, and overall well-being.
