About Nick

I'm Nick Fernandez, a licensed psychologist based in New York. My path to psychology began in college at Wake Forest University and then continued with advanced academic and clinical training earning master's at NYU and a PhD in clinical psychology from LIU-Brooklyn. My involvement in the psychedelic-assisted therapy space spans over a decade. In 2013, I participated in NYU's psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy trials, giving me a firsthand perspective on the therapeutic potential of psychedelics. I also worked on Phase II and III clinical trials for esketamine, administering and guiding dosing sessions. Prior to opening my own practice, I spent six years at a group practice in Midtown Manhattan developing expertise working with high-performing professionals in finance, technology, and related fields. My approach integrates cognitive reappraisal, behavioral activation, and nervous system regulation — a framework that pairs naturally with KAP.
