Steady Support. Meaningful Change.
Evidence-based care for teens, young adults, and parents in NYC
Welcome! I’m so glad you are here.
I’m Dr. Caitlin Gasperetti, a licensed psychologist based on the Upper East Side in NYC. I have over a decade of experience providing therapy to teens, adults, parents, and families across diverse clinical settings.
I specialize in working with:
Parents seeking support while caring for children or teens with intense emotions
Young Adults navigating anxiety, depression, identity development, and life transitions
Teens struggling with anxiety or low mood, self-esteem challenges, academic or social stress, and transitions such as starting high school or college
Individuals experiencing sleep difficulties, including insomnia and other sleep-related concerns
DBT skills coaching for adolescents, adults, and parents seeking practical tools to manage intense emotions, reduce crisis behaviors, and build effective coping and communication skills
I view therapy as a collaborative process, with the goal of meeting you where you are and supporting you in building a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling. My approach is highly personalized, shaped by your individual needs, goals, and circumstances. At the heart of effective therapy is a strong therapeutic relationship, and I work intentionally to create a supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and understood.
I invite you to explore my website to learn more about my practice. If it feels like we may be a good fit, you’re welcome to schedule a free consultation call, where we can talk through what you’re looking for and address any questions you may have.
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 teens, 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

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.
