Dr. Audrey Erazo-Trivino 

For almost three decades, Dr. Audrey Erazo-Trivino has dedicated her career to the mental health, education and social services sectors.  She has served children, families, and adults in New York City and Westchester County in a variety of direct service and administrative capacities with a primary focus on addressing the holistic needs of minoritized and marginalized communities.  She keenly understands the unique issues faced by ethnically and linguistically diverse individuals, particularly those who have experienced trauma. 

Dr. Erazo-Trivino is currently serving as the Associate Commissioner for the NYS Office of Mental Health’s Office of Prevention and Health Initiatives.  In this role, she leads the state’s efforts in implementing culturally responsive, community-based and child/family centered prevention programming rooted in trauma-informed care and health equity.

Dr. Erazo-Trivino holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology, a post-Master’s Certificate in School Psychology, and has been a NYS Certified School Psychologist for over 20 years. She is the past recipient of the New York Association of School Psychologists “Ted Bernstein Award” for excellence in the practice of school psychology. Dr. Erazo-Trivino obtained her Doctorate in School Psychology through Fairleigh Dickinson University and conducted qualitative research to better understand the educational and mental health needs of system-impacted youth. 

On a personal note, Dr. Erazo-Trivino is the proud daughter of immigrants from South America (Ecuador and Venezuela) and is the first member of her family to achieve a doctorate degree. Born and raised in Yonkers, New York, she is humbled to have her roots tied to such a diverse community and that upbringing continuously fuels her passion and commitment to working in the public mental health sector.
