therapist for moms

Meet Caitlin silverstein, lcsw, PMh-C, CCTP, Ippe-c

It’s time to invest in yourself.

I’m a New York-based therapist specializing in motherhood, pregnancy loss, postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety and women’s mental health.

I want you to truly hear this:

Seeking help isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a testament to your strength.

At the core of my approach to therapy is a belief that you can do hard things.

It takes courage to face the parts of yourself that feel broken, overwhelmed, or lost, especially when the world expects you to just “handle it.” Feeling the heavy weight of motherhood, anxiety, grief, and self-doubt can be isolating, scary and lonely.

Therapy rooted in compassion and real connection offers a space to hold all your feelings without judgment. Together, healing can honor your story and help you find your way .

You deserve support that sees you fully and meets you exactly where you are.

How I work

Central to my therapeutic approach is creating a safe, welcoming space where you can be fully yourself, without judgment or pressure.

I believe healing happens when we meet you exactly where you are, listening deeply and working together to find what feels right for you.

In sessions with me, we’ll explore your thoughts and feelings, identify patterns that hold you back, and practice practical skills to help you cope with anxiety, grief, or overwhelm. I blend evidence-based techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy with empathy and compassion, tailoring everything to your unique journey through motherhood and healing.

Together, we’ll nurture your inner strength and help you reconnect with the person you want to be.

Therapy with me is…

01 COLLOBORATIVE

We work as a team to understand what you need most from therapy. Your goals and experiences guide every step we take together.

02 practical

Therapy offers tools and strategies you can use every day to manage anxiety, grief, and overwhelm. Together, we build skills that help you navigate motherhood with more ease.

03 supportive

I’m here to hold space beside you through the ups and downs. I’ll cheer you on and stand with you every step of the way on this journey.

04 empowering

The goal is to help you find your inner strength and joy again. You’ll rediscover parts of yourself that might feel lost or foreign right now.
