Abigail Merin, Psy.D operates her psychology practice in the heart of New York City. An alumnus of the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, she has accrued extensive experience in major hospital centers throughout Manhattan and Newark, including the prestigious Columbia University Medical Center and the New York State Psychiatric Institute. Her ample practice covers individual and group therapy, along with family and couples counseling - this is complemented by her certification as a sex therapist. Utilizing her New York state license, Merin leverages her psychodynamic approach while also employing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Family Systems Therapy.

Dr. Merin has built up a significant skillset aiding individuals grappling with a wide range of difficulties - from mood and emotional regulation issues to challenges with substance use and inter-relational struggles. An authority on the psychological implications of "concealable stigma", she provides an empathetic and understanding approach when individuals wrestle with the need to seek help. Her research explores the stigma associated with hidden issues such as sexually transmitted diseases, LGBTQ+ identity, and overall mental health issues. Lately, Dr. Merin has been delving into the potential therapeutic uses of psychedelic substances and is equipped to offer integration therapy for those who have had such experiences. She firmly stresses that while her interest lies in the research, she will not administer these substances herself due to their current illegality.
