Caryn Gorden

Caryn Gorden is a licensed clinical psychologist and trained psychoanalyst dedicated to guiding individuals towards understanding and resolving the conflicts that create emotional distress. She believes that therapy is a transformative process, one that allows clients to identify troublesome patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that may hinder their interpersonal and professional lives. Improvement comes from understanding how these patterns originated and what steps are necessary to change them, best accomplished within a safe, confidential environment led by an attuned and nonjudgmental listener. Caryn works collaboratively with adults, adolescents, and couples to enhance self-awareness and empower improved decision-making. Her treatment approach is informed by her extensive psychoanalytic training, while also incorporating numerous modalities including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Eclectic methods, and Family Systems therapy, ensuring a flexible and responsive experience tailored to each individual's unique needs. Specializing in issues related to loss, life transitions, and career changes during early and midlife, Caryn has a deep commitment to understanding the complexities faced by her clients. Additionally, she has significant experience working with 2nd and 3rd generation Holocaust survivors, and possesses a strong interest in the transmission of trauma across generations, on which she teaches, presents, and writes.
