Reon Baird-Feldman Psychotherapy, PhD

My career experiences are varied. I have worked with a reality television population, in cardiac rehab, with an elderly population with chronic health and/or psychological concerns, and with graduate and school-aged students. I am a Guyanese-American female who immigrated to the United States as a young child. Growing up in America with a large immigrant family has allowed me to empathize with the challenges that arise with acculturation, transitions, difficult family relationships, and identity. It has also provided me with the ability to listen, empathize, and guide others through obstacles and hardships that may impact mood, behavior, daily living, awareness, insight, and comprehension.

In assuring that we are a good fit to help you build psychological tools for your toolbox, I identify the impact of your upbringing, strengths, weaknesses, and goals and how they align with my desire to help you reach your potential. I do not typically assign homework, but I may suggest focusing on patterns of behavior or thought processes throughout our work together.

I immigrated to the United States with my family as a young child and have experienced the challenges, sacrifices, growth, and beauty of being an immigrant child acculturating to a new environment. This has allowed me to be culturally-aware and sensitive to the variety of experiences one can have in varied or contrasting environments and situations.
