Warden Prescott
PhD, LMSW
MY PRACTICE
I am a New York State psychotherapist with over ten years of experience providing coaching, counseling, and psychological treatment to adults of all ages. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, relationship conflicts, existential questions, and mental illness.
I also specialize in trauma—especially complex trauma and trauma-related disorders that can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and others.
Before becoming a clinician, I was a professor of philosophy at a research university. My approach is shaped by a deep understanding of the world’s philosophical traditions—Eastern and Western—and I bring that lens to my therapeutic work. I strive to bridge cultural and religious divides with respect, curiosity, and a deep regard for our shared humanity.
If you’re considering therapy, I encourage you to take that first step and reach out.

Warden Prescott is an amazing counselor who has helped me through a great deal of personal issues. He took the time to understand how I worked, was patient with me when I resisted and earned my trust. I would recommend him to anyone who needs help. His knowledge and compassion are unparalleled.

Dr. Warden was very all ears open. He was able to communicate with me through some of the problems I’ve been going on in my life and just made me feel at ease and comfortable. He was very interested to know what’s going on and what are my triggers. I needed to hear certain things from someone who wasn’t close to me. Overall, my first experience in therapy was soothing and straight forward.

Warden Prescott guided me through the most important healing process of my life. Through the course of our work together I felt genuinely listened to by Warden. I left every session with the sense that Warden was totally engaged and attentive to my thought process. Warden addressed me with compassion and respect but also set expectations providing a ground-floor from which our work would proceed. Our goal was not to dismiss or dissolve my pain but to recognize its character and trigger. This put my pain in a place where I knew its scope and limit, where and how I came into contact with it. By Warden's guidance I arrived at questions I did not know I had. These questions turned out to be integral in setting the conditions for a real healing process to begin. The most significant of many outcomes of our work together was that it enabled me to see myself from a lost perspective; a view from which I could genuinely empathize and feel kindness towards myself.
