*ACCEPTING CLIENTS FOR JANUARY 2025.* I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist, and together, we can explore how your past experiences have shaped who you are today. You will gain self-understanding, self-compassion, and begin to feel happier and more fulfilled. My clients are individuals and couples with a wide variety of concerns, including relationship issues, anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma. I can help you navigate unwanted emotions and get you ready to cope with any difficult life circumstances that might arise in the future. My past clients have described me as “non-judgmental, kind, and someone who calls them on their bullshit.” I also love working with people in non-traditional relationships as well as LGBT individuals and couples. I also specialize in transgender-affirmative therapy, and have worked with trans and non-binary clients who are questioning gender, people who are in the middle of a physical and/or social transition, and individuals who are either post-transition or have made other decisions in this regard. Even if your gender identity is not the topic you want to explore in therapy, I will provide an accepting environment where you can explore whatever you think will be most useful. If this sounds like what you are looking for, please email me to set up a 20-minute phone conversation so we can see if we would be a good fit.
The ancient rationale for psychotherapy in three quotations: 1) ''He who cannot describe the problem will never find the solution to the problem'' - Confucious (551-479 BCE); 2) ''The unexamined life is not livable for a human being'' (paraphrased as, ''The unexamined life is not worth living'') - Socrates, in Plato's ''Apology'' (ca 360 BCE); 3) ''Whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.'' - Patrick Henry (1739-1799)
My Philosophy Therapy should be a safe place to talk about what is bothering you. It’s a place to gain self-awareness and insight and work toward feeling better with a qualified therapist who cares. It should be affordable and accessible. It should be tailored to your needs alone. And it shouldn’t last for years! How does that sound? I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have a BA from the University of Michigan and an MA in Mental Health Counseling from New York University where I graduated summa cum laude. I spent three years in the Counseling Unit at Long Island University working with college-age students focusing on crisis management, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, stress, individuation, suicidal thoughts and much more. I am a referral resource for the University of Pennsylvania, Adelphi University, Long Island University and Molloy College. I currently have a private practice in East Norwich where I work with older teenagers and adults.
I specialize in working with clients who experience anxiety or who otherwise struggle with issues such as stress about school pressures, work, decision making, future plans, body image, relationships and family. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches in addition to having interest and training in the areas of yoga, meditation, and mindful practices to assist in the healing process.
Hello! I am a trauma therapist (psychologist) who works with people who want to feel safer and more connected to themselves, in their relationships and their world. As a therapist of nearly 20 years, I work with those who want to feel safer and more connected. Certified in EMDR and IFS-Informed EMDR. AASECT Certified Sex Therapist. Polyvagal Certificate. EMDR Intensives available for deeper work. Level 3 Gottman. Internal Tracks Offering-Hip Hop Therapy + Parts Work + Polyvagal. In response to painful, overwhelming experience, our systems learn show to brilliantly manage, perform, and hold it together. The patterns that helped you survive may now be happening automatically. We will explore how your system has adapted and apply that awareness in practical ways. Meaningful shifts can happen in connection. Active, intentional living offers a full life you honor the past and stay in the present. Life is sometimes absurd. Humor helps too! I'm licensed in IL, NY and (43) PSYPACT states.
Our approach is one of compassion, providing a non-judgmental place to help you safely explore life's challenges and strengthen your connection to yourself; fostering lasting emotional well-being. We offer a wide range of specialties and interventions styles. Reach out and we will set you up with a therapist that best suites your needs and therapeutic style
Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or unsure of how to move forward? With more than eight years of experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, I am comfortable supporting clients with a wide range of needs and diagnoses. I meet each client where they are and work collaboratively with them to build confidence, strengthen coping skills, and create realistic steps toward meaningful change. Some clients come to therapy seeking practical coping skills, while others need a safe place to process their experiences and better understand themselves. Whatever your reason may be, let's explore and work together. I specialize in working with individuals, families, and couples experiencing various mental health concerns, including anxiety, trauma and grief, depression, emotional dysregulation, mood disorders, stress, life transitions, substance abuse disorders, and serious mental illness. My approach is flexible and individualized because no single method works for everyone. Starting therapy can feel uncomfortable, especially when you are used to carrying everything on your own or have not always felt heard or understood. I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free environment where you can be honest about what you are experiencing without fear of criticism.
I offer a warm, non‑judgmental space where you can slow down, breathe, and explore what’s really happening beneath the surface. My approach is deeply trauma‑informed and grounded in the belief that healing happens at your pace, with safety and connection at the center. I support adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, low self‑esteem, caregiver burnout, and the emotional weight of complex family systems. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from an integrative blend of EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, polyvagal‑informed work, CBT, and DBT. This flexibility allows us to work with both the mind and the body, helping you build grounding, resilience, and a deeper sense of self‑trust. Living with CPTSD myself, I understand how essential it is to feel truly seen and supported in therapy. I bring experience from inpatient psychiatric settings, where I worked with individuals facing acute mental health challenges and crisis situations. I’m especially passionate about supporting caregivers and those who tend to everyone else before themselves. I offer telehealth and in‑person sessions. My goal is to help you feel more empowered, more connected to yourself, and more able to imagine what’s possible for your life.
Dr. Kaylen Fitzpatrick, PsyD helps individuals overcome life’s challenges, mental fatigue, burnout, relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, and traumatic experiences. She integrates process-oriented interventions, cognitive behavioral strategies, and therapeutic life skills. In session, we will examine areas of your life to facilitate positive change & self-exploration.
No two people are the same. Therefore, I strive to provide treatment that fits each person’s unique needs and goals. I work to foster a partnership with each individual that respects their own problem-solving style while providing additional tools to address unmet needs. I believe that everyone has strengths and challenges. Our work together can fortify those strengths while mitigating challenges to reduce stress and suffering in daily life. <script src="https://thrivingcampus.com/verified.js?pid=17291"></script>
I provide individual, couples, and family therapy in person in Philadelphia, and I can see clients virtually in most states including New York. Because I completed my postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania and was the director of Penn's O’Brien Center for Addiction Treatment, I have extensive experience with the needs of Penn students. I work well with student athletes, including those who are recovering from injuries. I am very familiar with the application processes for medical school, veterinary school, law school, and business school--and with careers in competitive industries such as consulting, investment banking, private equity, hedge funds, and real estate development. I can help students with burnout and academic stress as well as anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt. In addition to working with Penn Students, I also have experience with students from NYU, Georgetown, the University of Michigan, Yale, Brown, Fordham, Drexel, Bryn Mawr, Villanova, St. Joe's, Cornell, the University of Delaware, the University of Pittsburgh, American University, Penn State, Thomas Jefferson University, SUNY Upstate Medical University, and many other schools. I have helped students to find meaningful romantic relationships and to heal earlier relationship injuries that may be getting in the way of intimacy. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can be very helpful for overcoming childhood and relationship wounding. More broadly, I am skilled at helping with career coaching, anxiety, depression, trauma, insomnia, grief, loneliness and addiction. I also work with people to improve their relationships with social media and screens. My style is nonjudgmental and flexible. I often use EMDR to help people to work through stressful or traumatic events and to better understand themselves. Depending on the client’s goals, I can integrate CBT, DBT, and solution-oriented approaches. I have extensive training in IFS (Internal Family Systems) and, for couples, IFIO (Intimacy from the Inside Out). I also have specialized training in the CRAFT approach for how to talk to loved ones about addictive behaviors without hurting the relationship. Using EMDR, I can help people to address the root causes of complex issues like addiction. My background is in positive psychology and addiction. My postdoctoral fellowship at Penn was in positive psychology. From that I learned to help people to use their strengths to build happier lives and careers.
I provide a supportive space where you will be heard, understood, and validated. Together, we will work through feelings of doubt and anxiety so you can move forward with greater confidence and clarity. In our work together, you’ll begin to discover your unique voice and learn how to use it to advocate for yourself. You’ll also learn that your worth is not defined by other people’s validation—and that making mistakes is a natural and important part of growth. Learning to recognize what isn’t working in your life is the first step toward meaningful change. From there, I will help you focus on your strengths so you can make thoughtful, healthy choices that truly align with who you are and what is best for you.
Life is full of transitional moments; changes that impact how we think, how we function, and how we connect to the world. Let us work together to build a positive connection between how you feel, where you are, and where you see yourself. Short-term, goal-oriented therapy is available. Or, perhaps you would prefer to delve deeper into the who, the why, and the how of things. With either modality, you can expect to be met with respect, compassion, and cultural sensitivity.
I am licensed to practice in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York. I offer mental wellness and therapeutic support to individuals, couples and families. My specialization are supporting individuals living with ADHD, anxiety, depression, addiction (alcohol/drugs, gambling and sex), anxiety/depression, life transition and insomnia.

My goal as a therapist is to work with my clients to help them use their natural strengths and abilities to move past their challenges. I believe that most people already possess the natural abilities and talents to move past mental health or sleep challenges, but might need some coaching or occasional suggestions in order to do so. I utilize therapeutic methods that have been rigorously researched and studied. I have extensive experience working with adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, insomnia, and trauma.
