  • To schedule a consultation call to see if we might be a good fit, please email Cayley at cekasten@gmail.com

  • Right now I am an out of network provider. I recommend that you call your insurance to get more information about your Out Of Network benefits for mental/behavioral health services. You may be eligible to receive reimbursements from your insurance carrier.

  • I work with teens and adults for individual therapy. Parents are always included and valued in the treatment of minors.

  • Yes, right now I am offering virtual services. I use a HIPAA compliant video platform called doxy to ensure privacy and confidentiality. Phone sessions are also available if preferred.

  • Yes, the confidentiality of all communications between a client and a therapist is protected by law. A psychotherapist cannot tell anyone what you have discussed in therapy or even that you are in therapy without permission. There are scenarios in which confidentiality can be broken if there is a significant safety concern around abuse or neglect, self harm/suicide risk or harm to others.

  • I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who graduated from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College. I have experience working in various settings including schools, hospital, and outpatient clinics where I treated various issues as well as consulted and coordinated with teachers, school staff, psychiatrists, and other professionals.

    I utilize various modalities in my practice including TF-CBT (trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy), somatic approaches, and psychodynamic psychotherapy.

    I completed post-graduate training at the Ackerman Institute for the Family and post-graduate training at the Metropolitan Institute for Training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. I utilize this experience and training heavily in my work with patients.

    I continue to provide clinical  supervision to other therapists at Bhava Therapy Group in Manhattan and see clients in my private practice.

  • I see clients residing in New York and New Jersey.
