Support for the moments that feel too big to handle alone

Hi, I’m Dr. Caitlin Gasperetti, a licensed psychologist in New York specializing in adolescent and adult mental health. I have extensive experience treating depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, self-harm and suicidal ideation, sleep concerns, and challenges related to identity, relationships, and life transitions.

I view therapy as a collaborative relationship, and I work to carefully balance creating a safe space for exploration while providing a supportive push to address challenging or painful issues. I draw on evidence-based techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based approaches. 

In our work together, clients often notice meaningful changes, including:

  • Feeling calmer and more in control when emotions run high

  • Managing anxiety, low mood, or self-criticism with effective tools

  • Sleeping more soundly and waking with steadier energy

  • Improving communication and boundaries in relationships

  • Building confidence in who you are and what you want next

I am currently accepting new patients virtually and in person on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. I anticipate having 2 openings for weekly therapy in January.

FAQs

  • The first session is a chance to slow down and talk through what’s been most difficult. We’ll review your background, clarify your goals, and begin identifying patterns that may be keeping you stuck. You’ll leave with a clearer sense of direction and a few initial tools to start using right away.

    For adolescents, the first session is typically a parent-only meeting to review consent and confidentiality and to gather relevant history and goals. A separate session with the teen is then scheduled. Some families prefer for the teen session to occur first or for both sessions to take place on the same day; we can discuss your scheduling preferences during the phone consultation.

  • Yes. I see clients both in person on the Upper East Side and virtually across New York State. Many clients choose to mix in-person and telehealth sessions depending on their schedules.

  • I’m an out-of-network provider, which means clients pay at the time of session and can request partial reimbursement directly from their insurance company. I provide a monthly statement (called a “superbill”) to make that process easier.

  • Therapy rates

    • 30 minutes - $225

    • 45 minutes - $325

    • 60 minutes - $425

    The standard therapy session is 45 minutes weekly. Payment is due at the time of service.

    There is an option for longer or shorter sessions and/or bi-weekly or monthly frequency, depending on your needs and my availability.

  • Therapy length varies based on your goals. Some clients find meaningful change within a few months; others choose to continue longer-term as they navigate deeper identity work or life transitions. We’ll check in regularly to make sure therapy remains aligned with your needs.

  • That’s completely okay. The consultation call is a low-pressure way to explore what you’re looking for and see if my approach feels like a good fit. If not, I’ll gladly suggest other options or referrals that may better meet your needs.
