Intimate Conversations, Deep Listening, Meaningful Insights, Lasting Growth
Welcome. I’m Dr. Caryn Gorden, a licensed clinical psychologist and trained psychoanalyst with over twenty-five years of experience. My role is to help you understand and resolve the conflicts that may be causing you distress in your life. Therapy can offer you the opportunity to identify unhelpful patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving—and to explore where they come from and how to change them.
Together, in a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential space, we will work to build your self-awareness and the freedom to make choices that feel more aligned, authentic, and fulfilling.
What I Offer:
Individual therapy for adults across the lifespan
Couples and family therapy
A flexible, psychodynamic approach informed by psychoanalysis while incorporating other orientations and therapeutic tools
Special Focus Areas:
Navigating loss and grief
Life transitions (early and midlife career changes, relationship shifts, family challenges)
Intergenerational trauma, including work with second-and third-generation survivors
Ready to meet and talk? Contact me today to schedule a confidential consultation or to discuss any questions/concerns.
My approach
I am a licensed clinical psychologist dedicated to providing thoughtful, individualized mental health care. In my practice, I offer psychotherapy for adults of all ages, couples and families—creating a safe and supportive space to explore challenges, build insight, and foster meaningful change.
Sessions are available both virtually and in-person.
In-person and remote options
My office is conveniently located on the upper west side of Manhattan. I offer in-person, as well as secure, virtual therapy sessions.
Sometimes an office is just an office.
In psychotherapy however the office is also a containing and holding environment: a secure space to explore emotions and achieve growth.
