ALTHEA PETTIGREW, M.S., MHC-LP

Therapist

OFFICE LOCATION: NEW YORK

I am passionate about promoting mental wellness, self-care, and stress management, particularly through avenues like the arts, music and dance. Drawing from my own experiences and background, which include counseling in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma, loss, addiction, and mindfulness, I am committed to supporting the well-being of both youth and adults.

Growing up in the vibrant community of Harlem, my love for music took root and blossomed into a profound passion for playing the saxophone and singing jazz. This artistic journey has not only enriched my life but has also provided me with invaluable insights into personal growth and exploration, which I am excited to share through mental health counseling.

With three decades of dedicated service at the Department of Social Services, I have witnessed firsthand the challenges that individuals can face, and I am committed to prioritizing your emotional well-being above all else.

I believe that fostering self-love is a fundamental human trait that leads to spiritual healing and nurtures self-acceptance. My educational background includes a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from The College of New Rochelle.

I am excited about embarking on a journey towards improved mental health together. Let's work collaboratively to build a foundation of well-being and vitality.

Thank you for considering me as your therapist. Here's to a journey of growth and happiness!
