Dr. Ferleger is a licensed clinical psychologist who moved from New York City to the Hudson Valley over 25 years ago. She has worked at Marist for 11 years, previously as the Director of Counseling Services. Before Marist, Naomi was dedicated to serving diverse and under-resourced populations in Dutchess County through community-based mental health care. She sees therapy as a way to develop self-compassion, resilience, life coping skills and acceptance. When she’s not at work, Naomi loves practicing self-care by playing with her Goldendoodle Mimi--who you may see roaming around the office sometimes!
