Dr. Kari Hensley

I have a background in academia and the arts. Before training as a psychoanalyst, I ran a writing center for graduate students at NYU where I helped students articulate their thoughts and ideas and understand their anxieties around writing. Now, I work with my patients in a similar fashion, through deep listening, helping them express themselves and better understand what may be getting in their way of living the life they want.

I draw from a number of traditions, but primarily use a psychoanalytic approach where my patients and I try to understand the unconscious forces that may be negatively impacting their relationships, work, and life in general.

Through this work, my patients better understand themselves, may feel less inhibited, more themselves, and more alive.
