Hi, I’m Carla

I am a NYC based licensed psychotherapist, Board-certified Creative Arts Therapist, proud mom and artist with 20 years experience working with people from age 3 to 99.

After 12 years working at Montefiore Medical Center, I opened my private practice in 2019.

I believe that pro-active self-care is necessary for well-being, and that making small changes today leads to significant results tomorrow.

I am now offering Attachment-Focused EMDR as a way to address and reprocess past traumatic experiences.

Growth and change occur over the course of a lifetime.

Not just therapy as usual.

What is Creative Arts Therapy?

Creative therapy uses art-based activities, such as visual art, music and dance, to help treat emotional and mental health conditions.

Creative Arts Psychotherapy can help you understand your emotions and learn self-regulation to keep calm and learn to respond rather than to react.

Creative therapy does not require a person to have any sort of artistic ability. Part of creative therapy is helping a person channel their thoughts and emotions through artistic expression. For these reasons, creative therapy may be beneficial for people who have difficulty expressing their feelings verbally.
