Elise Derevjanik is a New York State licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with advanced certification in perinatal mental health (PMH-C). With over 15 years of experience working in diverse clinical settings, Elise specializes in supporting individuals and families during the transformative period of becoming a parent. 

Elise's therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy and understanding, informed by evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Attachment-Based Therapy. These approaches allow her to provide tailored support that addresses the mental health challenges of parenthood, helping clients navigate the emotional and psychological changes that come with this major life transition.
