About Dr. Jennifer Halper

I am a Cornell-educated, board-certified psychiatrist who sees adults for psychotherapy and psychopharmacology. While my training has foundations in various modalities of psychotherapy, I am interested in a psychodynamic approach, pulling in elements from other styles as necessary. In my private practice I work closely with a wide variety of men and women and strive to offer the highest quality of individualized care. My specialty in Reproductive Psychiatry offers me a unique understanding of PMS, infertility, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and perimenopause. Treatment may include psychopharmacology alone, psychotherapy alone, or a combination of both medications and psychotherapy. Medications are powerful tools for treating persistent symptoms and furthering treatment goals, particularly when used in conjunction with the right type of therapy, but medication is only prescribed after careful consideration and with your consent. An initial consultation begins with our first scheduled meeting as I get to know you and understand what brought you into treatment. If you are looking for help, you are off to a good start. I truly believe that you deserve to feel better, and with treatment, you will.
