Dr. Carolyn Greene, PsyD
Preferred Name: Carolyn
About Me
Welcome! I am a clinical psychologist in private practice in New York and Massachusetts. While I can help clients with a variety of issues, one of my areas of specialty is the treatment of PTSD and other trauma-related conditions. I am specifically trained in EMDR therapy through an EMDRIA approved site, and I am actively working towards EMDR certification. I gained experience treating PTSD while working with combat Veterans and Active Duty Soldiers as a Staff Psychologist with Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) from 2014-2020. In my private practice I have worked with a broad range of clients with trauma-related conditions due to childhood abuse, neglect, or other adverse life experiences. One of my other areas of specialty includes providing psychotherapy for pregnant women and mothers. I treat perinatal PTSD in addition to other mood and anxiety conditions in pregnancy and postpartum. My primary orientation is psychodynamic meaning I help clients resolve unfinished business from the past and work to reduce its hold on them. I integrate EMDR therapy into this foundational approach. Many people find it hard to begin psychotherapy. While it can be overwhelming for many reasons, I can make the process a little easier for you. Please email me directly through the EMDRIA directory to schedule a free phone consultation.
