Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in New York

Are you a soon-to-be mother or father? Or perhaps you have not been feeling like yourself since your child's birth. If so, I would love to support you in managing everything birth-related; I am certified in Perinatal Mental Health and passionate about working with birthing individuals and their partners before, during, and after birth. I specifically focus my work on couples who need support navigating conflict management, transition to parenthood, and infidelity.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker, and throughout my time in the field, I've worked with a diverse group of clients living with psychotic and mood disorders, anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, dual diagnoses, reentry, women's issues, and crisis management. I have experience working in schools, hospitals, and intensive outpatient care.

Welcome! My name is Chaynna Clark and I’m Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I am a bilingual first-generation Afro Latina. I use she/her pronouns.

I have worked in community-based clinics in both Rochester, NY and New York City. I have years of experience working with children, teens, and adults. I’ve supported individuals through a wide range of issues, including, trauma, life transitions, depression, anxiety, cultural identity, self-esteem, and relationship issues.

I am a LCSW who has almost 20 years of post graduate experience supporting my clients. I have an extensive background supporting families in many capacities including home visits, and office settings to understand specific needs of all members.

I am a strengths based, solution focused therapist who believes we all have an inherent ability to heal, but that ability may be blocked by difficult and traumatic life events.

Each client is an individual which requires not a one size fits all treatment approach. I have over 10 years of prescribing experience in inpatient and outpatient settings and unde4rstand that not every person requires the same treatment plan. I also provide MAT, ie, suboxone, vivitrol, naltrexone for Opioid Use Disorder and Alcohol Use Disorder in a non judgmental private setting.

I am dual board-certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner. After several years of clinical practice, I earned my doctoral degree in 2021. My experience spans both behavioral and family health settings, including hospital-based behavioral health units, partial hospitalization programs, and intensive outpatient care.

I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of mental health conditions, including ADHD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, panic disorder, and PTSD. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practice and emphasizes holistic, collaborative care.

Together, we will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, goals, and values through a shared decision-making process.

I am committed to creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment and to addressing disparities in mental health care. If you’re struggling, you don’t have to go through it alone. I’m here to support you with compassion, expertise, and care.
