Professional Career
Elizabeth Allen Psychological Services, PLLC
Founder
Assistant Professor of Psychology in Clinical Psychiatry and Assistant Attending Psychologist
Weill Cornell Medicine New York Presbyterian
Before founding my private practice, I ran a specialty outpatient psychotherapy program for emerging adults, oversaw adolescent inpatient psychotherapy services, and developed clinical programing for pregnant and postpartum individuals at the New York Presbyterian Westchester Behavioral Health Center. In this role, I was highly involved in the clinical training of junior psychologists and psychiatry residents. I maintain a clinical appointment on the faculty of Weill Cornell Medicine, where I continue to offer supervision, consultation, and lectures. I am thrilled to bring my ideas and expertise to NYC, Fairfield County, and surrounding areas through my private practice.
