My website
I’m Dr. Mary Ellen Clifford, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist & Founder of Manhattan Psychological Services, a New York & International-based online group practice. Since 2006, I have been working with children, teens, adults, couples, and families who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, identity exploration & major life transitions. My approach is collaborative, compassionate & grounded in evidence-based therapies including CBT, DBT, Trauma-Focused & Solution-Focused Therapy. I also specialize in working with individuals healing from relational trauma, betrayal, and intergenerational wounds.
I combine science & compassion, creating a safe & judgment-free space. I am also an LGBTQIA+ affirming clinician & welcome clients of all identities, backgrounds & relationship structures. I have experience supporting those navigating coming out, gender identity, family conflict, internalized shame & finding strength and clarity in their authentic self.
Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, emotionally overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or others. Whether you're working through past pain or trying to make sense of current struggles, I offer a supportive space where you can feel safe to explore, heal, and grow. My style is warm, direct, and deeply attuned to your individual’s needs.
