We’re thrilled to share some exciting news: PSI’s Board has generously offered to match all contributions to the John Kamas Emergent Fund — dollar for dollar — up to $6,500.

For nearly 50 years, PSI has stood alongside New Yorkers in moments of profound challenge and change — from the AIDS epidemic and 9/11 to the financial crisis of 2008 and the COVID-19 pandemic. Through it all, one truth has guided us: while the future is uncertain, we can prepare to meet it with care, compassion, and creativity.

In honor of the extraordinary leadership of The Rev. John Kamas, we established the John Kamas Emergent Fund to ensure PSI has the flexibility to:

-Respond quickly to new and unforeseen needs

-Pilot innovative programs and bold new ideas

-Build partnerships that expand our reach

-Provide accessible, spiritually informed care to all who seek it

If you are able, join us in honoring Rev. Kamas’s legacy and shaping PSI’s future, you can find the donation information here: https://psinyc.org/john-kamas-emergent-fund/

We’re very pleased to welcome one of our newest clinical interns, Fan Fan.

With a strong foundation in clinical psychology and a deep interest in how spirituality shapes resilience, Fan Fan brings curiosity, warmth, and insight to her work. Fan Fan is particularly passionate about supporting clients as they navigate both psychological challenges and spiritual questions. She is offering therapy on a sliding scale.

Fan Fan received her PhD in Spanish and Portuguese, and taught language and literature. As a scholar, she researches and writes about Asia-Latin America intersections. She lives and works across unconventional cultural contexts and is pleased to offer sessions in English, Portuguese, Mandarin, and Spanish.

We’re so excited to welcome one of our newest clinical interns, Anooshka Banerjee.

In her work, Anooshka does not see therapy as a one-way process. She approaches it as a shared journey, bringing her full presence, listening deeply, and engaging in genuine conversation. Her goal is to help clients reconnect with their center so that life’s difficulties become opportunities to grow stronger, clearer, and more grounded.

Anooshka holds a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Psychology and a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from abroad, and she is currently pursuing a second Master’s in Mental Health Counseling at The City College of New York. Her approach blends academic knowledge with lived experience and centuries of philosophical, religious and spiritual wisdom, offering a sanctuary where clients can explore, heal, and unfold.

Anooska is offering therapy on a sliding scale and can be reached at: abanerjee@psinyc.org

“I made 23 trips into this neighborhood, accompanying people returning to their homes for the first time. It had the feel of being with family members when they went to view the body for the first time.”

PSI staff therapist, Mary Ragan, PhD, LCSW, recalls her time as a social worker on a volunteer mental health team in the Lower 9th Ward, and the resilient spirit of New Orleans residents dealing with devastating loss.

✅ Respond swiftly to new needs as they arise
✅ Launch innovative programs and pilot fresh ideas
✅ Expand our reach through community partnerships
✅ Grow our capacity to provide affordable, accessible, spiritually informed care

Together, we can strengthen the foundation for a more responsive and resilient future through clinical services, professional training, and community partnerships.

Have you ever experienced a moment of deep connection—or longed for one?

Some moments in therapy feel larger than words—experiences of deep connection, insight, or peace. We honor these as part of the healing journey.

What kind of relationship do you want with your therapist?

We believe therapy is most powerful when it’s real and relational. PSI therapists may draw from their own grounded practices—like mindfulness or guided imagery—to meet you with care and presence.
