Getting to know Dr. Wendy Gelfand-Chaite

Using a holistic approach, I offer client-centered, evidence-based psychotherapy to help individuals improve their mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. I have extensive experience supporting individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and various life changes and challenges. Additionally, my professional background in law and healthcare, along with my experience as a caregiver and bereaved mother, drives my passion and specialization in helping individuals and their families cope with chronic/terminal illness, grief and bereavement, as well as executives, legal professionals, and graduate students better manage and improve their mental health and well-being. As a former attorney, federal judicial law clerk, law school mental health and wellness program administrator, law school career and professional development counselor, adjunct law professor, national research and healthcare leader, patient advocate and caregiver for 25+ years, I am uniquely qualified to provide knowledgeable and compassionate support.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I provide teletherapy via Chaite Counseling & Consulting, a New York behavioral mental health private practice. I prioritize creating a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors without judgment. Utilizing my broad knowledge base, keen analytical skills, life-inspired wisdom, and compassionate heart, I help clients cultivate greater insight, self-awareness, and positive change within their lives. Through active listening and collaborative goal setting, clients identify their strengths, values, and goals. Throughout the therapeutic journey, progress is assessed and interventions modified to ensure continued alignment with each client's evolving needs and objectives. The depth and breadth of my experience and training allows me to creatively integrate a variety of interventions, including amongst others, acceptance commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, internal family systems, psychoanalysis, neurolinguistic programming, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness.
