Dr. Margulies brings with her 30 years of experience working with adults, parents, and children. Before engaging in full-time private practice,

Dr. Margulies has worked in a variety of settings and positions. These inlcude working as a school psychologist for children with special needs, and consultant psychologist in several agencies and clinics in NYC and the surrounding area.

 

Dr. Margulies also served as Director of Infant and Child Development at a major foster care agency in the South Bronx.  In that tenure, Dr. Margulies designed cutting-edge research that looked at attachment patterns of (substance using) mothers with their babies and ways to strengthen the mother-infant bond. Using a videotape feedback method, Dr. Margulies worked with mothers to increase their ability to reflect on their babies' needs and wants and make connections with their neglect as children.  

 

Dr. Margulies has published, lectured and taught at local universities and teaching hospitals. She has extensive training in child and adult psychoanalytic psychotherapy studying at institutes such as the Westchester Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy, The William Alanson White Institute, and The Institute for Psychoanalytic Education at the NYU Medical Center.

 

Looking forward, Dr. Margulies is working on a series of children's books on the topic of emotions. Picking up the threads of her first career in writing and journalism, she is planning a series of video blogs on topics in the area of mental health and creativity. Dr. Margulies' last foray into this area was a few years back when she produced and hosted an award-winning local cable TV show, Conversations with Dr. Marian (see sample clips here).
