Our Mission & Values

Cherishing Playful Moments Between Parents and Children

Our Mission

At PAC Psych, our mission is simple: To provide evidence-based, compassionate care for children, teens, and families—empowering every young person to reach their potential and every parent to feel supported.

We believe every family deserves access to high-quality mental health care that is approachable, inclusive, and truly makes a difference.

Our Core Values

  • Women-Owned & LGBTQ+ Inclusive

    We are proud to be a women-owned practice, built on principles of equity and inclusion. We welcome families of every background, orientation, and identity, and we strive to create a safe, affirming space for all.

  • Family-Friendly, Never Clinical or Stuffy

    Therapy should feel welcoming—not intimidating. From your first call to every session, you’ll find warmth, genuine care, and a team that truly listens.

  • Rooted in NYC Community Values

    Our practice was founded on the Upper West Side and is deeply connected to the communities we serve. We understand the unique challenges and strengths of raising children in New York City—because we live here, too.

  • Evidence-Based, Always

    Our clinicians use only proven, research-backed therapies. We stay current on best practices and tailor every plan to your child’s and family’s needs.

  • Personalized Attention

    Every child, teen, and parent is unique. We partner with you to understand your goals, answer your questions, and walk with you every step of the way.

  • Collaboration & Transparency

    We believe in honest communication and teamwork—with families, schools, and each other. You’ll always know what to expect, and you’ll never feel alone in the process.

  • Commitment to Growth and Learning

    We continually invest in our own training and in the growth of our team so we can offer the best possible care to every family we serve.

Happy family
