He has trained across a wide range of clinical settings, including community health centers, outpatient clinics, school districts, psychiatric hospitals, and inpatient units. These diverse experiences have allowed him to treat with clients presenting with a broad spectrum of emotional, behavioral, academic, and relational difficulties. With a background in both school and clinical psychology, Dr. Pilchik brings a unique understanding of the intersection between mental health, learning, and developmental context—particularly for adolescents and young adults navigating academic demands, identity formation, and major life transitions.
