Originally trained as a child psychotherapist and later as an adult psychoanalyst, her interests span the life cycle, with particular attention paid to unconscious patterns and styles of early attachment. Her enjoyment and understanding of children has helped create her engaged and nurturing style with all patients. She has worked extensively with people suffering from depression and anxiety and has helped children, adolescents, adults, and couples address the emotional difficulties related to divorce, adoption, family conflict, parenting, and other complex life events. Ms. Studwell graduated from Bryn Mawr College, received her MSW from Loyola University of Chicago, and then completed her Psychoanalytic training at the Westchester Center for Study of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy.
