About Dr. Lily Warner
Lily Warner, Psy.D., MPS; Founder, Psychologist
Life can be challenging! As a human, I can relate, and as a professional, I'm here to help.
On a professional note,
with 16+ years of clinical experience: Doctorate in Psychology, Master’s in Art Therapy, advanced postgraduate training; clinical research coordination at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell, inpatient psychiatry at Montefiore; supervision of 20+ clinicians/interns; and presenting internationally, rest assured that you’re in good hands.
On a personal note,
I’m a native New Yorker who knows firsthand the pressures of the private school system. I spent several years outside the city exploring new cultures and ways of life—from Colorado, Australia, France and beyond—before returning to New York to pursue a career in the mental health field. I’ve always been curious about people and what shapes us. Over time, my path has moved from the fine arts to the healing arts and into scientific inquiry, with each stage informing how I show up in my work today. I draw on these experiences to support you with empathy, insight, and care.
You shouldn’t have to face life’s challenges alone. Now you don’t have to.
