THERAPY FOR TRAUMA FROM VIOLENCE & TERRORISM
Dr. Nina E. Cerfolio MD is an internationally recognized expert on trauma, mass shootings and terrorism with over 30 years of experience in private practice as a board-certified psychiatrist and psychoanalyst in New York City.
For over a decade, she teaches third and fourth year psychiatry residents long term psychotherapy as a Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital. She was in academic medicine for 10 years, including serving as Chief of the Psychiatric Emergency Room and Walk-in Clinic at St Vincent's Hospital in Greenwich Village New York City.
Her recent groundbreaking book, “Psychoanalytic and Spiritual Perspectives on Terrorism: Desire For Destruction'' sheds light on the forgotten collective humiliation of the marginalized, a breeding ground for terrorism, while introducing a fresh new spiritual perspective on healing. The need to reach out to those who are shunned, is now more critical than ever in our country.
TRAUMA & PTSD THERAPY
When Nina was a first responder at 9/11 and in The Second Chechen War and Genocide, she provided medical care to those who were suffering and psychiatric care to those who were having difficulty coping. Through these experiences and her many years of training, Nina recognizes that healing from terrorism and trauma is a deeply unique experience for each individual. She provides a safe and supportive environment to teach and guide her patients to transcend the pain and trauma of terror into interconnectedness and harmony.
