Therapy for the Parts of You That Are Tired of Holding It All Together
You look capable. You function well. You show up for everyone else. But inside, you’re overwhelmed, disconnected, or quietly exhausted.
We help high-functioning individulas slow down, untangle what’s underneath, and finally feel like themselves again.
Who We Are
We’re here to help you understand yourself differently.
-
Think deeply
Feel deeply
And are tired of managing everything alone
Our New York state licensed clinicians specialize in anxiety, trauma, relationship dynamics, identity exploration, burnout, and life transitions — but more than that, we specialize in helping you feel understood.
-
You feel safe enough to be honest
You’re challenged without being judged
And your therapist actually sees you — not just your symptoms
If you’re here, you might be:
Constantly overthinking conversations long after they end
Successful on paper but privately anxious or burned out
Carrying relationship patterns you can’t seem to break
Feeling emotionally reactive — or completely shut down
Wondering, “Why do I still feel this way when I’ve done so much work on myself?”
Maybe you’ve tried:
Self-help books
Podcasts
Journaling
Pushing through
Staying busy
And it helps… until it doesn’t.
What you really want isn’t just coping skills. You want relief. Clarity. Stability. To feel steady in your own life.
Our Approach: Depth + Practical Change
This isn’t surface-level therapy.
It’s collaborative, thoughtful, and transformative.
-
The patterns underneath your reactions
The nervous system responses driving your anxiety
The attachment dynamics shaping your relationships
The protective strategies you built that no longer serve you
And then we help you shift them.
-
Relational
Trauma-informed
Insight-oriented
Culturally aware
Grounded in real, sustainable change
Why Remote?
Because therapy should fit into your life — not become another stressor.
Remote sessions allow you to:
Access support from anywhere in New York
Maintain privacy and discretion
Show up consistently
Build continuity in your care
Healing doesn’t require another commute.

Founded by Carolyn
Carolyn created Remote Therapy New York with a clear intention:
To build a therapy practice that feels different.
A place where high-achieving, thoughtful adults don’t have to shrink their complexity. Where cultural identity and lived experience are understood, not explained.
Where therapy moves beyond symptom management and into real transformation.
Her vision guides the practice today: therapy that is warm, nuanced, and deeply human.
