We integrate a holistic approach to treatment with a feminist application of cognitive behavioral therapy.
our philosophy
We also believe that your symptoms - such as muscle tension, looping or racing thoughts, procrastination, or overworking - are often your body’s way of telling you something doesn’t feel right. We believe that with the ability to hear your bodies’ directives with compassion and non-judgment, your “symptoms” can actually offer important information about your values, desires, and unmet needs.
To this end, we believe you should honor your emotional intuition.
As women and clinicians, we recognize that there is a delicate intersection between your physiological and hormonal health and your mood. We talk with you about your hormones, your sleep habits, the foods you eat, your relationship with technology, and your access to pleasure and connection.
For this reason, we invite you to be curious about the nature of your thoughts, as they can sometimes cloud our perception. We teach you actionable strategies to help you recognize and change thought and behavioral patterns that may be unhelpful or that may even be inadvertently reinforcing your distress.
Our team is uniquely trained to help you cultivate insight while equipping you with individualized, actionable strategies to experience relief and navigate transitions with self-trust and compassion.
At the same time, objective reasoning can also be really helpful for better understanding yourself and the world.

Hi, I’m Dr. Emma Levine. I founded Perennial Wellness out of a belief that women and parents deserve a kind of mental health care that is both deeply specialized and profoundly human. Over the years, I’ve built an intimate, collaborative team of seasoned clinicians who share a single mission — to help women and families cultivate resilience, clarity, and connection in every stage of life.
As clinicians and as mothers, we understand the layered experience of womanhood — the quiet pressures, the invisible labor, and the longing for balance that so often goes unspoken. From early adulthood through motherhood, midlife, and beyond, our work integrates evidence-based approaches with an understanding of the body’s wisdom: female neurobiology, attachment, child development, and the rhythms of transition.
I founded Perennial Wellness after witnessing, time and again, how women wait until they are pushed to the edge to care for themselves. My goal — and our collective philosophy — is to rewrite that story. Caring for yourself is not indulgent. It is an act of strength, clarity, and radical self-respect. It is the foundation of a well-lived life.
We bring both science and soul to our work — combining the rigor of psychology with the compassion of human connection. At Perennial, we help women find alignment in the midst of change, steadiness in uncertainty, and the courage to live lives that feel both authentic and whole.

I’m Dr. Emma Levine, a clinical psychologist and founder of Perennial Wellness, where my team and I specialize in the mental health of women and parents. Over the years, I’ve built an intimate, collaborative, and devoted team of seasoned clinicians who share a deep commitment to supporting our community of women and families with compassion, depth, and expertise.
My path to this work has been both professional and deeply personal. I received my doctorate in Counseling Psychology from Fordham University, graduated summa cum laude from Skidmore College, and completed advanced training in cognitive-behavioral therapy and women’s mental health through Cognitive Therapy for Women and the Seleni Institute in New York City. But much of what I know about resilience, alignment, and healing has come not only from my training, but from lived experience — as a clinician, a mother, an entrepreneur, and a breast cancer survivor.
Earlier in my career, I served as Assistant Director of Cognitive Therapy for Women, supervising postdoctoral fellows, and as an Adjunct Professor at Fordham University’s Graduate School of Education, where I taught masters and doctoral students. I’ve worked in hospitals, community clinics, college counseling centers, and private practice — and in every setting, I’ve witnessed the same quiet pattern: women often wait until they are pushed to the edge to care for themselves.
I founded Perennial Wellness out of a conviction that this must change — that we can learn to nurture our mental, physical, and emotional well-being before crisis demands it. True wellness isn’t a luxury or a reward for surviving; it’s a lifelong practice of noticing what’s out of balance and returning to alignment with compassion and intention.
At Perennial Wellness, we integrate the science of cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and neuropsychology with the art of presence and human connection. My work centers on helping women navigate transitions — in motherhood, midlife, and identity — with grace, clarity, and courage. I believe that caring for ourselves is not indulgent; it’s essential. When we create lives aligned with our deepest values, we don’t just recover — we thrive.

Founder and Director
I’m Erin Curran, a licensed clinical social worker and the Assistant Director at Perennial Wellness. I am passionate about walking alongside women and families through times of transition and growth. I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from New York University and received advanced training in the diagnosis and treatment of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, as well as in perinatal loss and grief, through the Seleni Institute in New York City. At Perennial Wellness, I’ve served as a Mental Health Specialist for Expectful’s Mother’s Circle program, where I facilitated support groups for new mothers navigating the emotional changes that come with postpartum life.
Before joining Perennial Wellness, I worked as a Clinical Social Worker at the Rebecca School, a therapeutic day school in New York City for children and adolescents with Autism and other developmental differences. There, I provided evidence-based interventions to support children and teens with challenges in communication and connection, while also coaching parents as they navigated the complexities of raising a neurodiverse child. I hold advanced training in DIRFloortime®, a relationship-based model that helps promote meaningful growth and connection in young children.
I’m especially drawn to working with women as they adjust to motherhood, as well as those in their 20s and 30s who are navigating major life transitions, shifts in identity, and relationship or career changes. My approach is warm, relational, and compassionate. I integrate evidence-based strategies with an attuned, down-to-earth style to help women feel understood, supported, and empowered to create lasting change. In my work with parents, my goal is to help each family deepen their understanding of—and connection with—their child.

I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Hunter College and completed advanced training in the diagnosis and treatment of Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders through the Seleni Institute in New York City.
Before joining Perennial Wellness, I worked as a Clinical Social Worker at the Eagle Hill School in Greenwich, Connecticut, a private school for children and adolescents with language-based learning differences. In that role, I provided individual and group therapy for students, along with coaching and support for parents navigating the complex demands of raising a child with learning differences.

Meet Lindsay Quinlan, LPC-A
I’m a clinical mental health counseling intern who is passionate about supporting women and families through the full spectrum of motherhood—the beauty, the challenges, and the healing that follow. I will earn my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Wake Forest University in December 2025, where I am a member of the Chi Sigma Iota Honor Society.
I completed my clinical internship at The Alliance Center, a perinatal mental health practice where I provided therapy for women across the motherhood continuum and facilitated birth trauma support groups using evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches. During my practicum at The Tiny Miracles Foundation, I supported mothers and families within neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) at Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital, Stamford Hospital, Bridgeport Hospital, and St. Vincent’s Hospital.
Before pursuing counseling, I built a successful career in brand marketing with companies including Health-Ade Kombucha, Cha Cha Matcha, and CBS’s EcoMedia. In 2020, I founded the mental health brand KindSide, featured in Town & Country, Martha Stewart, and Extra TV.
In 2022, I experienced the stillbirth of my daughter, Caileigh—a loss that transformed my life and purpose. From that grief emerged a deep calling to support other mothers navigating loss. I founded a pilot program at Stamford Hospital offering therapy, mentorship, and community connection for bereaved mothers and continue to expand this work today.
As a mother who has experienced loss, trauma, and fertility challenges, I bring empathy, warmth, and deep respect for the resilience of women to my work. I’m passionate about supporting mothers coping with perinatal and postpartum challenges, grief, and the impact of a loved one’s addiction. To me, therapy is not only about moving through pain—it’s about finding meaning, connection, and the courage to begin again.
