Attorney Therapists
August 31, 2026
My work is dedicated to providing personalized and effective therapy to help you navigate life's complexities. With over 27 years of exprience as a clinical psychologist I offer a safe, confidential and supportive environment to address your mental health concerns. I have been working with lawyers for years and have a profound respect for the unique pressures faced by legal professionals: dealing with the psychological battering of opposing counsel and difficult judges, bad reviews by clients, the vicarious trauma of witnessing other people's suffering, the lack of personal or family time, among others.
Many clients come to me feeling obligated to shoulder these burdens as part of their job, but hopelessness and powerlessness have devolved into anxiety, depression, physical symptoms and work burnout.
You don't have to navigate the stress on your own. With my help you can learn to separate yourself from your work, identify what you need to be happy and find a way to improve your situation. Together, we can help you learn to embrace your humanity, build resilience, explore alternatives and enhance communication and connection. Let's talk.
Sessions are 45 minutes in length. I ask for 48 hrs. notice if you are going to cancel. I ask to be paid at the time of session and I send out an itemized invoice at the end of the month that you can send to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Dr. Carni graduated from Teacher's College, Columbia University with a M.A. in Developmental and Child Psychology and also has a Ph.D. from City University of New York and a Postdoctoral certificate from New York University in psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
I believe we all have the capacity to create long-lasting change. I help you tap into the wise soul that exists inside youo who knows what you need to heal. My therapeutic style is warm and compassionate. My office is a safe, nonjudgmental place where you can feel free to let down your defenses, explore your own inner workings and get the emotional support that you need.
I am skilled at spotting unconscious patterns and behaviors that may be proftecting you from the pain of unhealed emotional wounds, allowing us to explore which ones are serving you and which are holding you back. We will also get in touch with your strengths and resources. As an unbiased third party, I am unencumbered by any preconceptions you may have about yourself. This allows me to provide you with a clearer view of both your weaknesses and your strengths. Exploring your deepest hopes and fears isn't always easy but self-awareness is key to living an authentic, emotionally rich life. Through my approach you'll be better positioned to fulfill your personal and professional goals and create a life worth celebrating.
