Dr. Ben Michaelis believes that we are all meant to create. An innovative thinker, world traveler, and clinical psychologist, Dr. Michaelis brings his passion for creativity to his treatment approach in working with people from diverse populations. “By expanding the traditional definition of creativity and helping people to understand that what they create defines them I help people use their instincts to create and play in order to lead more fulfilling lives.”
Dr. Michaelis's treatment approach, which emphasizes the innate capacity and desire for imaginative play, was forged during his clinical internship at Bellevue Hospital and his work with inmates from the New York City Correctional System. He has been in private practice in Manhattan since 2004, working with a diverse clientele, including musicians, actors, writers, entrepreneurs, attorneys, executives, and teachers.
