Caryn Sherbet Psychotherapy

As an individual and couples’ therapist, I create a space in which clients can safely engage with the scary stuff without letting it overwhelm them. I’m a queer, nonbinary therapist who specializes in helping clients navigate anxiety, OCD, and sexual trauma (often the intersection of all three). Using approaches that honor the mind-body-culture connection, I gently push clients to change unhelpful patterns and heal longstanding wounds.

I work with individuals, couples, and polycules experiencing a variety of emotional, sexual, and/or social health challenges. I work with children of all ages, and am passionate about providing age-appropriate gender and sexuality-affirming therapy. I strive to help clients cultivate fulfilling sexual relationships with themselves and others.

My approach is eclectic and trauma-informed, using modalities like psychosomatic therapy, internal family systems (IFS), cognitive restructuring, storytelling, and humor, among others, to address clients' unique needs. In couples' work, I use Gottman and Imago techniques to help partners foster non-violent communication and mutual understanding. As a member of Triska Psychotherapy, I’m trained in Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) to treat OCD, anxiety, and hoarding.
I will be running a therapy group called Exploring Authentic Queer Desire in Sex & Dating to
help queer/trans adults ages 21+ better understand their sexual and romantic desires and how to act on them in healthy, sustainable ways. For more information on this group and how to sign up, please visit this page or shoot me an email. Dates currently TBD.

Caryn Sherbet Therapy

I believe pleasure is a human right and one that is deeply undervalued in our society. I’m staunchly pro- sex work, queerness, neurodivergence, kink, polyamory, fat liberation, and justice for BIPOC folks, to name a few. I’m dedicated to anti-oppressive practice and am especially passionate about providing support for folks whose experiences come from a place of marginalization.
