Caryn Sherbet, LMSW

As a queer Jew and an Aries (I know), my approach to therapy is challenging but warm; everything is an existential nightmare and I’m here to help you through it. I pride myself on being a person who Gets It while still creating a space in which clients feel safe to explore the scary stuff. The Horrors persist and yet you are not alone in navigating them.

Across my academic and professional career, I have worked with folks in a variety of social work settings. I taught social-emotional skills to young children at elementary schools on the Lower East Side and in Washington, D.C. I reinvestigated wrongful conviction cases and helped refugees gain asylum as a paralegal. I spent several years doing sexual violence prevention work, including attending 100+ hours of sexual violence intervention training and designing the curricula used to train other student advocates. I’m particularly passionate about helping survivors of sexual violence get back in touch with their bodies after trauma.

In addition to being a therapist, I’m an avid baker, devoted cat parent, and Drag Race enthusiast.
