Dr. Talia Hindin is fortunate to be serving as the school psychologist of BPY where she is known as Dr. Talia. It is a true honor and pleasure for her to be accepting this honor along with the other wonderful and impressive honorees. She’d like to express hakarat hatov for their work on behalf of BPY.

When reflecting on her years at BPY, Talia is most appreciative and feels incredibly fortunate to have forged such special relationships with colleagues, parents and most importantly, the students of BPY. Her days are enhanced by the time she spends working with the students in all capacities and settings. Talia goes to work every day inspired by the excitement and enthusiasm of the teachers and of course the students at BPY. In her role as school psychologist, Talia is passionate about the social-emotional well-being of the students and aims to help the students learn the skills, gain the insight, and develop the desire to be their best selves. Through class wide activities, individual or group sessions and collaboration with teachers and parents, Talia thoroughly enjoys the daily challenge of guiding the students to reach their fullest potential.

Talia earned her doctorate in School-Clinical psychology from Yeshiva University's Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology. There she received the Becker Family Scholarship, a scholarship conferred upon students serving the Jewish community. After receiving her doctorate, Talia worked in a variety of both clinical and school settings including the Center for Applied Psychology and the Rye Public School system. Outside of school Talia is the program coordinator for Yesh Tikva’s Fertility Friends program which provides emotional support for couples facing infertility. Talia combines her clinical skills with her devotion to Jewish living through teaching kallah classes to kallot from a range of backgrounds. Finally, in her spare time, she has a small private practice.

Last, but certainly not least, Talia is a proud parent of five children, four of which, Leba (3), Eliana (3), Gavriel (1), and Merav (Pre-K) are BPY students. Orly, the youngest, can’t wait to join her siblings!
