About Dr. Rafferty

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in New York City.

As an artist and writer myself, I have a particular interest in working with artists and creatives of all types. I’m also interested in the interaction of how gender roles and stereotypes affect us.

I earned my Ph.D. from The New School in New York City. I completed my doctoral internship at Lenox Hill Hospital. I completed my post-doctoral fellowship at Northwell Health’s Zucker Hillside Hospital where I specialized in the treatment of first episode psychosis, severe mental illnesses, and emergency crisis resolution. I currently serve as a Clinical Associate at The New School’s Safran Center for Psychological Services as a supervisor for graduate students in training.

I have experience in a variety of clinical settings including many years within inpatient psychiatric hospitals, community mental health treatment centers, and private practice.
