Optimal mental health care has an
integrative holistic approach.

Dr. Caryn DePinna, Psy. D. 
Licensed Psychologist

I am passionate about working with individuals who are looking for a holistic approach to psychotherapy.

I am a New York State Licensed Psychologist, Certified School Psychologist, and Integrative Mental Health Professional with experience working in educational and clinical settings. Based in New York City, my experience in both school and community mental health settings amplified my understanding that there is a significant need for mental health care that addresses the mind-body connection and uses integrative tools to manage symptoms and overwhelming emotions.  

Currently, I work full-time supervising school based clinicians. During my tenure in the school system, I have held several roles supporting students, families, and school staff with a focus around prevention, social emotional learning, mental health, and trauma informed positive behavior support.

In my therapy practice, I cultivate all of these experiences with the approach that mental health care must include the needs of the whole person.

I work to build a trusting therapeutic alliance with my clients.  This alliance becomes the foundation for positive change and provides the space to process and reflect. Using an integrative, holistic approach, we will work toward your individualized goals.  I want to empower you with tools to support your overall mental health and well-being everyday.
