About Dr. Leslie Peña-Sullivan, DSW, LCSW

I hold a Doctorate of Social Welfare in Clinical Social Work (DSW), an MSW from NYU Silver School of Social Work, and a post-graduate certificate in Advanced Clinical Practice. My work experience in the field has encompassed several positions involving assessing and treating severe trauma in children, adolescents, and adults due to community disasters, migration, displacement, resettlement, war, or other conflicts.

I participated in a Clinical Social Work Fellowship at the Yale Child Study Center Outpatient Psychiatric Clinic for Children.

I am bilingual (Spanish) and previously worked at the Mount Sinai World Trade Center Mental Health Program, providing evaluation, psychotherapeutic, and referral services for 9/11 first responders.

Recently, I worked as a staff psychotherapist at the Larchmont Mamaroneck Community Counseling Center, providing individual, family, and group counseling services to Southern Westchester County’s Spanish-speaking community.

I have been an adjunct lecturer at the NYU Silver School of Social Work since the fall of 2019. As a clinician, my area of research is trauma among the undocumented Latinx community. I am licensed in both NY and CT (LCSW).

I am in-network with United, Oxford, Oscar, Aetna,  BCBS, and Cigna.

Please feel free to say hi to me @ BrooklynParentSupport (you do not need to be a parent to receive services)!
