Dr. Nicole Caulfield

Hi, I'm Nikki! I'm a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of NY with eight years of experience working with adults (18+) from all walks of life. I specialize in PTSD and relationship issues, and I also work with people dealing with depression, anxiety, military combat/sexual trauma, and life stressors. I use therapies such as psychodynamic, CPT, CBT, ACT, DBT, and PE, modalities I tailor to fit what you actually need. I'm warm and a little witty, and I'll cheer you on every step of the way while also challenging you to make the changes you're hoping for. I'd love to work with you!

Please note at this time I can only take private pay (I do not take insurance) for couples therapy. I offer insurance and private pay options for individual.

Sessions with me are collaborative. We start by checking in and setting an agenda together, so your time feels purposeful and focused. I tailor everything to you as an individual and encourage you to practice what we explore together in whatever way fits your life. Whether you're looking for short-term or longer-term support, I am happy to meet you there. My clients often tell me they appreciate my warmth, my genuine curiosity about their lives, and that I'll gently challenge them when it matters. My goal is for you to feel safe, welcome, and know that I'm truly in your corner.

Our first session is about getting to know each other. I'll learn about your history, stressors, and what's brought you to therapy, because I want to understand you as a whole person before we do anything else. Together we'll set treatment goals around what you want to change, whether that's reducing trauma symptoms, managing anxiety or depression, working through relationship struggles, or breaking patterns that have kept you stuck. Your goals shape everything we do. My hope is that you leave our first session feeling truly heard and excited about what's to come.
