Dr. Sandra Schein

Psychologist

Virtual • New York


I have been working as a licensed psychologist for more than 30 years, providing individual and group psychotherapy to older adolescents and adults within diverse settings, including inpatient and intensive outpatient eating disorder treatment facilities, skilled nursing facilities, college counseling centers, community mental health clinics, and private practice.

Having served as Director of College and Career Services for Oxford College of Emory University, and Dean of Students for New York Film Academy, I have particular passion and expertise for working with college-age adults--helping them navigate the overwhelming life-stage challenges of forging identity, living independently, deciding career and major, cultivating relationships, managing academic demands—while, encouraging them to honor their unique physical and mental health needs.
