I am a psychiatrist with years of further training and experience in psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. I treat a wide array of issues, ranging from anxiety, depression, grief, problems in intimate relationships, and chronic dissatisfaction to a general sense of malaise. I also work with patients who are experiencing confusion about their feelings and an inability to make important decisions, and who thereby feel stuck and unable to move forward. In addition, I help patients going through a crisis or a life transition that may lead to an increased burden of demands requiring change.

I work with patients to help them recount and revisit their life's story and create a new narrative that works better for them. In that spirit, I don't give overt advice, instructions, or quick solutions, but instead encourage them to arrive at their own solutions after carefully exploring the roots of their current problems.

I have a judicious approach to prescribing medications when warranted to support the work of therapy.

I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself. I believe healing can happen through both meaningful conversations and moments of humor. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, identity, or simply feeling stuck, I'm here to help you feel understood, empowered, and genuinely connected to yourself. If any of this resonates, I'd love to connect.

My goal is to guide clients to improve their interpersonal relationships, overcome life stresses, and feel less depressed and anxious. With 30 years of experience, I view therapy as a partnership where client and therapist work together. If setting goals and having an accountability partner in reaching those goals resonates, I welcome the opportunity to work with you.

My name is Casey, and I am a licensed clinical social worker based in New York City. Most recently, I have been working at an NYU Langone family health center in Brooklyn, supporting individuals facing a wide range of challenges, with a particular focus on co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns.

Before becoming a therapist, I developed programming and partnerships for a company centered on holistic wellness and spiritual inquiry. Through that work, I was exposed to alternative modalities such as herbalism, psychedelics, astrology, tarot, and Eastern philosophies. These experiences have deepened my understanding of healing and complement the tools offered by contemporary psychology.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and trauma. I earned my Master's degree in Social Work from NYU. I offer a warm, supportive space where you can talk openly, gain clarity, and develop practical tools to move forward. My focus is helping you better understand patterns, manage what feels overwhelming, and make meaningful, lasting changes in your life.

Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping children, teens, couples, and families find healing and strength in the face of hardships and challenges that could destabilize any of us. I am easy-going, open-minded, and very direct and intentional with my help and support. I would happily accept the privilege of getting to know you and discovering positive ways forward, together. I have a diverse cultural and ethnic background and have always related well to others, enjoying more than anything else to be in service to anyone who needs a hand during a hard time. I am hopeful and positive, and I believe we can all change our circumstances with a little guidance.

Sometimes words don’t fully capture our experiences or do them justice. My journey into this work began with the discovery that art, music, movement, and other forms of creative expression can communicate the parts of ourselves that language alone cannot reach. These expressions are deeply human and can become powerful pathways to insight, healing, and connection.

My path to being a therapist involved listening to feedback I've received most of my life. For many years I experienced others coming to me in crisis, whether I knew them well or not. I often wondered why others felt comfortable sharing with me and why they were confident in coming to me for assistance. What makes me suited to be a therapist is a natural talent and motivation to assist others in transformation. Providing therapy is my second career; previously, I worked as a hospital administrator for many years. I went into the profession of health administration for compensation and prestige. Security was my motivation at the time. After several years of not feeling fulfilled, I decided to pursue what was missing and lead with my heart
