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.
