Welcome.

Hi. I'm Caity (she/her). 

I'm here to help your little one with their big feelings.
I am a New York-based child therapist with ten years of experience in the fields of childhood development and mental health. I currently work as a school based social worker and a private therapist, supporting families with children of all ages. In my work I aim to partner with caregivers to support their family unit & child in finding healthy coping skills and connection.

What is Play Therapy?

Before developing language, children express their thoughts, feelings and experiences through play! Play therapy is a developmentally appropriate mental health treatment approach for children and families. The play therapist is able to understand and communicate with a child through their most natural and expressive form of communication. Additionally, verbal children are given the opportunity to not only speak experiences aloud, but to feel and process them in real time. While play therapy is typically utilized for children 3-12 years of age, it is accessible in various forms all throughout the lifespan. Families can become involved by joining their child in the playroom with the guidance of a play therapist.

My approach.

In my practice, I utilize a child centered and trauma-informed approach. My specialties include working with children and teens who have experienced big and/or many stressors at a young age. I often work with neurodiverse kids and their families to understand their child's unique, sometimes complex developmental needs. I additionally aim to provide a culturally safe, affirming, and inclusive environment, with special care for the experiences of LGBTQIA+ children, youth, and families.
When working with children, I additionally work closely with parents and caregivers as you know your child better than anyone. I'm here to listen to you and work with you too. Let's team up to find the best way to support your family in finding some relief, connection, and joy.
