About Dr. Jaime Marrus | Psychologist in NYC

I’m a native New Yorker and a New York State licensed psychologist who genuinely loves this work.

​

I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from St. John’s University and graduated summa cum laude from New York University, where I studied psychology along with child and adolescent mental health, pre-business, and American Sign Language.

My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and highly individualized. I integrate evidence-based modalities—including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, DIR/Floortime, and Collaborative & Proactive Solutions—to provide nuanced, practical, and developmentally informed care tailored to each client and family.

​

In addition to my private practice, I serve as the Lower School Consulting Psychologist at The Cathedral School in NYC, where I work closely with educators and families to support students in real-world academic settings. Previously, I was the Clinical Director of a therapeutic school in Manhattan, overseeing clinical programming, supervising multidisciplinary teams, and leading a doctoral training program. I have also worked in private practice with a focus on evaluation and treatment of neurodevelopmental differences, including autism spectrum disorders.

​

My work is grounded in the belief that clarity, collaboration, and thoughtful guidance can meaningfully shift a child or family’s trajectory. I aim to provide not only insight, but a clear and actionable path forward.

​

Outside of my professional work, I enjoy spending time with my family—especially my daughters—and taking full advantage of life in New York City. I love reading, cooking, baking, exercising, and unwinding with a bit of (questionable) reality television.
