About Christine Petrik

I bring an intuitive, warm approach to my work as a psychotherapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).   
 
My education is broad, having completed my Master's Degree in Social Work from Fordham University and deepening my training with Postgraduate certification in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at NYU Medical Center's Psychoanalytic Institute.  My expertise extends to Imago Relationship Therapy as a Certified Advanced Imago Therapist and Workshop Presenter.
 
I have had a private practice for a number of years and also served as past Clinical Director at Psych Systems of Manhattan, a psychiatric partial hospitalization program.  In addition, I served as Group Facilitator and supervisor of the Intensive Outpatient Program at Hazelden New York, a substance abuse treatment facility.  I created, and served as Chairperson, to
the Committee on Addictions Practice for the Metropolitan Chapter of The New York State Society for Clinical Social Work.
 
My commitment to my chosen profession is strong, evidenced by my affiliations with a number of associations, some of which include:
  • Imago Relationships International
  • National Association of Clinical Social Workers
  • The American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy
  • One Spirit Interfaith Learning Alliance
