Joan Lavender, Psy.D. Psychologist,

Need a clinician whose sessions span New York City and Connecticut without the commute planners dread? Joan Lavender, Psy.D. focuses on talk therapy and psychological assessment, blending structure with flexibility so care fits a busy life.

Her office sits inside a mid-block building facing the park’s controlled greenery, the kind of quiet block you reach after climbing a few flights in a prewar coffered lobby—no desk manicures, just the hum of the radiators in winter and open windows by appointment when the air cooperates.

She works with adults on anxiety, depression, and life transitions, plus diagnostic evaluations when clarity matters more than speed. Couples and individuals both land on the same roster; she keeps evenings clear so afternoon commuters aren’t locked out.
