Getting to know Cara Carleton
Are you wondering if your drug or alcohol use is becoming a problem? Do you know it is a problem but cannot seem to control it? Or maybe you engage in other self-sabotaging behaviors, such as binge-eating, compulsive spending, or undermining your success at work. Self-sabotaging behaviors, including drug and alcohol misuse, are actions we choose, yet they often feel automatic and inescapable. They frequently serve to maintain the status quo, prevent growth, and keep us trapped in unhappy situations. I understand the pain and hopelessness that come from repeating the same mistakes. I help people overcome their self-destructive patterns, which can take many forms. No matter the details of your particular struggle, my approach is nonjudgmental and flexible. Together, we can identify what is preventing you from living the life you want and work toward replacing unhelpful behaviors with effective, self-affirming ones. I sincerely love the work of psychotherapy and cherish my relationships with my clients. I hold a Master's in Social Work from New York University, which informs my compassionate and evidence-based approach to care.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
