With more than 30 years of experience in social work, I bring a compassionate, thoughtful, and client-centered approach to therapy. My background includes supporting individuals through a wide range of life experiences, transitions, and challenges, and I value creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and respected.

Many of my clients appear high-functioning on the outside but internally struggle with anxiety, trauma, overthinking, relationship patterns, or persistent feelings of guilt and self-doubt. They often understand their patterns intellectually yet still feel stuck repeating them. I specialize in EMDR therapy, an evidence-based approach that helps the brain process difficult or overwhelming experiences so they no longer feel as emotionally intense, allowing clients to move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and emotional balance.

Hi, I’m Amy Gelles. I’ve been a therapist for over 20 years, with an MSW from Columbia University—but more importantly, I genuinely love helping people figure themselves out.

I didn’t end up here by accident. I started as a social worker in underserved communities, worked my way up to CEO of a major behavioral health agency... and then made a very intentional pivot back to what I love most: sitting with people (in person or on Zoom) and helping them to feel better.

So many of us are walking around thinking, “Why do I keep doing this?” or “Why do I feel this way?” ...and not getting great answers.

That’s where I come in.

I help you connect the dots, understand the patterns you’ve been stuck in, and actually shift them—so life starts to feel easier, clearer, and a lot happier - that is what I pride myself on doing.

I bring depth, insight, and a wide lens from years of experience—but also humor, honesty, and a very human approach.

I am an LCSW providing support services for children/adolescents.

Hello and welcome to comprehensive psychiatric services at DMD Health and Wellness!

As a General (Adult) and Child/Adolescent Psychiatrist, I am passionate about empowering all ages on their journey towards mental health and well-being.

I completed a residency in General Psychiatry and fellowship in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry at Georgia's prestigious medical college, one of the oldest medical schools in the nation. This expert, specialized training has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to understand the unique psychological needs of children, adolescents, and adults.

I am a Board Certified Psychiatrist, Board Certified Child/Adolescent Psychiatrist, and am also a Board Certified Pediatrician (triple-trained in General Pediatrics, General Psychiatry, and Child/Adolescent Psychiatry). I completed a pediatrics residency at NYC’s only academic Children’s Hospital in Brooklyn, SUNY Downstate, with additional pediatric and psychiatric internships at Brooklyn’s Maimonides Medical Center.

I graduated with my medical degree (Doctorate) with clinical accolades from New York’s oldest osteopathic medical school, NYIT.

Welcome! My experience has taught me that being heard, affirmed, and celebrated is vital to growth and well-being. Therefore, I approach the therapeutic process with unconditional affirmation, respect, care, and compassion. I have 10+ years of experience working with diverse communities, including LGBTQ+, gender expansive/non-binary, kink/BDSM, poly/non-monogamy, sex workers, and fat individuals. I had the privilege of being a resource to individuals, couples, and families facing various challenges including depression, anxiety, body image, self-esteem, perfectionism, loneliness, relationship challenges, and family struggles.

It is my role to make you feel comfortable, support you through challenging times, and help you to know yourself better. Because different challenges require different solutions, I adopt an integrative approach and draw from psychodynamic, interpersonal, CBT, feminist, positive psychology, and multicultural approaches to counseling.
