About Walkens

I’m Dr. Walkens Petit-Frere, DSW, LCSW, founder of WPF Integrative Psychotherapy in NYC. I work with high-functioning professionals navigating depression, trauma, anxiety, burnout, and existential questioning. Many of my clients are successful outwardly but feel disconnected, stuck, or internally fragmented. My approach blends depth-oriented psychotherapy, trauma-informed care, and when appropriate, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). I help clients move beyond coping and symptom management toward integration, meaning, and psychological flexibility. Our work is relational, reflective, and grounded in helping you reconnect with your core self — not just to function, but to live with clarity, coherence, and purpose.
