Professional statement

Dr. Healy works with adults, adolescents, and couples practicing psychoanalytic psychotherapy as well as ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. Dr. Healy earned a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the New School for Social Research and currently works at The Flatiron Center for Psychotherapy. Dr. Healy trained in both outpatient and inpatient settings and has worked with people across a wide range of age, gender, race, sexuality, socioeconomic background, and level of symptom severity.

Dr. Healy's approach to psychotherapy is psychoanalytic, meaning you will work together to discover the ways your mind keeps you from knowing parts of yourself—feelings, memories, wishes, traumas, impulses, fears, desires—parts of you that often stem from childhood but continue to affect your present life. This approach will help you not only to get back in touch with those warded-off parts of you but also, or even moreso, to understand how and why your mind wards them off.

Dr. Healy specializes in working with the following populations:

• LGBTQ+ people, particularly bisexual people and non-binary/genderqueer people

• People who have childhood histories of maltreatment (emotional abuse/neglect, sexual abuse, and/or physical abuse/neglect), family dysfunction (such as domestic violence, alcohol/substance abuse, and/or high-conflict divorce), or other forms of complex trauma

• Artists/creatives (including musicians, theatre/performance artists, dancers, writers, designers, and visual artists)

• People who have used, plan to use, or have an interest in psychedelics

Message to clients

People often come to therapy feeling that there’s something about themselves that they don’t understand: why they struggle in relationships with friends, family, or romantic partners; why they have problems at work, at school, or in their sex lives; why their emotions feel confusing, unmanageable, or out of control; why they feel like they’re different from other people or like something is wrong with them. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy can be powerful ways to get in deeper touch with yourself and to transform your experience of yourself, your emotions, your relationships, and the world.

My style has been described as calm, welcoming, patient, and thoughtful. I believe healing and change come from allowing, accepting, and integrating all parts of ourselves, especially those that feel painful, shameful, frightening, or bad.

Much of our process will be spent attending to what emerges between us in our therapeutic relationship as it develops over time and how our experiences of one another in the room together—conscious and unconscious—relate to the problems and patterns that brought you to therapy in the first place. In this way, we can see firsthand how you attempt to tackle these challenges and discover new ways to approach them based on greater understanding and self-acceptance.
