About Dr. Meredith Singer

I’m a Clinical Psychologist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and the founder of Singer Psychology Group, where I work with adults, adolescents, and children.

My work helps people understand how their personal histories and early environments shape who they are today. I encourage curiosity and self-compassion as we explore how past experiences—and the patterns they create—live in the nervous system and influence the present.

Grounded in psychodynamic theory, my approach integrates body-based methods, recognizing that true healing involves the whole self: thoughts, beliefs, behaviors, emotions, and the body. Profound change happens when mind and body align.

My Approach

Therapy is a collaborative process. I tailor treatment to each person, drawing from a wide range of evidence-based and experiential approaches, including:

Psychodynamic Therapy
Somatic Experiencing (SE)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Attachment-Focused EMDR (AF-EMDR)
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
Parent/Infant Dyadic Work
Attachment, Relational, and Interpersonal Models

I believe that our early experiences shape how we see ourselves and relate to others. When those patterns from the past keep us stuck, therapy offers a way to reconnect with the present and discover new possibilities for healing and connection. As we develop compassion and understanding for all parts of ourselves, we become more open to love and to being loved.

Training & Background

I earned my MS in School Psychology from The City University of New York and my PhD in Clinical Psychology (Neuropsychology concentration) from Long Island University in 2003.

My early career focused on early childhood and developmental work, including play therapy, parenting support, and psychological testing for neurodivergent children and those with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). I completed my predoctoral internship at Nassau University Medical Center and a postdoctoral fellowship at Weill Cornell Medical College in the Department of Anxiety and Posttraumatic Stress. There, I worked alongside trauma researcher Dr. Joanne Difede, studying and treating PTSD in 9/11 first responders.

Following my fellowship, I served as an Instructor at Weill Cornell while completing additional training at Columbia University’s Parent Infant Psychotherapy Program and the Women’s Reproductive Psychiatry Center at Weill Cornell under Dr. Catherine Berndorf.

In 2006, I opened my private practice in Brooklyn. Since then, I’ve continued my professional development through:

MBSR Training
Integrative Trauma Studies Certificate (National Institute for the Psychotherapies)
Attachment-Focused EMDR Certification (Parnell Institute)
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Certification (SEP)

About Me

I’m a lifelong Brooklynite, proud to raise my family here with my husband and two sons. I feel deeply honored to do this work—helping people feel more at home in their own bodies and lives.
