Psychological Testing and Evaluation Therapists in Grand Central, New York, NY

I am Carol Lachman, a Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist. In my practice I treat adults, adolescents and children. I try to help individuals understand and cope with the inner and outer sources of their unhappiness, and problems. I generally conduct individual sessions, but treat some couples. and also counsel parents of the children whom I treat. I treat children from ages two through adolescents, and provide psychotherapy for adults throughout the life cycle. I am also available, skilled, and experienced to administer psychological tests for children, adolescents and adults for developmental problems, attention deficit, and learning disabilities.

I feel that therapy is most effective when the patient and therapist work both in the present and the past. Often the patient seeks therapy in order to relieve a symptom (i.e. depression, anxiety) or to resolve a relationship issue and they want relief quickly. I understand this need to feel better as quickly as possible but also feel that it is important to address early interpersonal issues that are having an impact on current relationships. In working along these parallel paths patients often feel relief of symptoms and gain a better understanding of lifelong dysfunctional patterns.

Feeling stress, anxiety and sadness during this unprecedented time is normal.

Treatment interventions are evidence-based and tailored to fit each client’s goals.
