Dr. Eleanor McGlinchey specializes in therapy for depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship difficulties, emotion regulation, and child & adult sleep problems. I am also particularly interested in helping new parents who are struggling with either their baby's sleep or their own sleep (or both!). Sleep and rest are often neglected in our lives. Yet as soon as we prioritize it, we find it evades us. My goal is to help you find rest – whether that means changing your behaviors to promote better quality sleep, challenging worries that drain your energy, or equipping you with effective communication skills to build the social support you need to thrive in your daily rhythm. As a sleep specialist, I will help you uncover and change habits and thoughts that are holding you back from restful sleep and full daytime energy. I also specialize in treating depression, anxiety and relationship concerns and I strive to remain curious about your specific experiences so I understand how best to help. We will work together to help you discover ways to connect meaningfully with the people in your life and challenge assumptions that may be holding you back from realizing your full self-worth.

Geeta is amazing and we loved having her as a post-partum doula. She was incredibly helpful, kind, and soothing during the daytime sessions and was an absolute life saver during the night sessions. She was amazing with our daughter (and our pets!), and really put us at ease when she was around. We felt so comfortable with her and knew our daughter was in good hands; we would absolutely recommend her to anyone considering a post-partum doula.

Hi! My name is Kristen and I am a registered dietitian with over a decade of experience and a certified lactation counselor. I have worked with countless clients helping them optimize their health prior to and during pregnancy, through their fourth trimester, and throughout breastfeeding as well. Over the years I have helped parents feel confident when feeding and nourishing themselves (and their little ones)! My method is surprisingly simple. I provide you with the latest scientific information, personalized for your unique needs, while working through all the external and internal influences that determine your food choices. I have a child of my own and experienced firsthand the ups and downs of pregnancy, as well as the difficulties many face when breastfeeding (and eventually starting solids!). Together, we work to achieve the goals you set out to accomplish, and I’m there cheering you on every step of the way!

Recent review

Kristen was extremely helpful and supportive with providing information for nursing/ feeding infants with food allergies and sensitivities. She is very knowledgeable in the field and provided really useful tips and advice when it came to identifying the allergy, adapting diet while nursing, weaning to formula, as well as introducing solids. Highly recommend!!!

I have been a personal trainer for pregnant and postpartum women in New York City for over 7 years, and have I realized that so many women have major questions about their bodies and fitness that they are not finding answers to. My mission is to make safe and effective pre and post natal fitness accessible for all. I have created an online streaming platform for pre and post natal workouts through my company Her Move, I provide consultations, and have limited availability for private training.

Julia is wonderful. Anyone who is pre or post natal would benefit from Julia's guidance! She is incredibly knowledgable and caring.
