Dr. Matthew Paldy, PhD, LP

My clinical practice grew out of a lifelong curiosity about how we navigate complex internal emotions and the deeper psychological patterns that shape our lives and relationships. I hold degrees from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, the University of Rhode Island, and Stony Brook University. Following my doctoral studies, I completed six years of advanced post-graduate training at the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis (NPAP) and the Theodor Reik Clinical Center in Manhattan.

Prior to my clinical training, I spent many years in the corporate world, earned a PhD in Organizational Behavior, and taught as a university professor. This background gives me a distinct understanding of high-pressure professional environments, leadership fatigue, and workplace dynamics. I have consulted for a wide range of institutions, including Chase, UBS/Credit Suisse, CIBC Capital Markets, Merrill Lynch, American Express, Simon & Schuster, Kaplan Test Prep, The College Board, and the NYC Department of Education. I also designed and developed the Critical Thinking Program for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

In my personal time, I am an avid reader of short stories and literature, and enjoy independent films, woodworking, and surfing.
