Peter Meiland Information

I am a licensed clinical psychologist  with over 25 years' experience specializing in individual psychotherapy with children and adolescents. With a special focus on depression, anxiety, trauma and learning disabilities.   I have been in a clinical psychologist in private practice since 1996. My practice has several components. 1. Individual Psychotherapy: Focused on working primarily with children and adolescents with a broadly psychoanalytic orientation. 2. Learning Disability Diagnosis: I specialize in the testing and diagnosis of learning disabilities in children, adolescents and adults 3. Type 1 Diabetic Illness Management: I also focus on assisting Type 1 diabetics manage their illness and live life to the fullest despite their disease.   My Psychological Treatment Approach: Every person I see has unique needs which requires my approach to be flexible so that it can be molded to fit each individual. Therefore it can be difficult to describe exactly what being in therapy with me is like.   I am committed to working with each person to help build on their strengths while at the same time identifying solutions and goals to assist them in moving forward. I am supportive in my approach to identifying individual challenges and work with each person I see to provide solutions and direction with warmth and caring as well as a good amount of humor.   You are the Expert in your own life. My work is based on the belief that each person I see if the expert in their own life. Despite how they may feel in that first meeting. My role is to help them understand themselves more deeply. As such, therapy with me is a process of learning to listen to yourself, and understand yourself with more clarity. Contact me for more information and to set up an appointment. (212) 598-5892
