Dr. Wesley Gregory earned her BA in psychology from Gettysburg College in 2015 with a minor in French. She earned her MA in psychology from The New School for Social Research in 2017 with an emphasis in mental health and substance abuse counseling, and her Ph.D in Clinical psychology from Adelphi University in 2022. Dr. Gregory  holds licenses to practice psychology in both Kentucky and New York.
Dr. Gregory currently serves as the Director of Clinical Training for the doctoral internship program. Her main duties in this role include developing the orientation curriculum, day to day operation of the internship, intern training needs, overview, and direction, program development, and addressing general intern concerns. In addition to this, Dr. Gregory also serves as one of the psychologists on the admissions unit. Outside of her work at WSH, Dr. Gregory loves teaching at the undergraduate level and has served as an adjunct professor for Adelphi University and SUNY Old Westbury.
In her work with clients, Dr. Gregory has adopted an assimilative integrated approach in which she relies on psychodynamic theory as her foundation while integrating interventions from other theoretical orientations – primarily cognitive behavioral and humanistic therapies. Her supervision style follows the integrated developmental approach, and she adapts her approach to supervision to match the supervisee’s level of experience.
When not working, Dr. Gregory loves playing the piano, baking, reading mysteries, and bingeing history documentaries (especially if they are about old, European castles). She can often be found planning elaborate vacations that she cannot afford. She is a self-proclaimed Disney Adult and Broadway Nerd and will happily talk to you for hours about either subject (although strangely enough she emphatically dislikes the Disney Broadway musicals). She loves animals of all kinds, but has a special fondness for cats and goats.
