Professional statement

Calla Jo is a Licensed Psychoanalyst and Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two offices in Greenwich Village and Union Square, New York, specializing in issues of loneliness, anxiety, depression, relationships, identity formation, and emotional fluency. Calla works to provide culturally-sensitive care, and her practice is affirming of LGBTQ+ clients, people of color, and individuals with marginalized identities.

As both a psychoanalyst and a social worker, Calla has a unique understanding of pathways of human development, relational patterns, and larger social structures. Her insight-oriented approach helps clients to better understand how they see themselves and their roles in relationships and at work.

Calla sees an eclectic mix of clients of all ages. She strives to develop a strong therapeutic relationship with each individual and explore difficult thoughts and feelings in a warm, open environment. Her Chelsea office is conveniently located by the 9th Street metro station.


Message to clients

Therapeutic progress is hard to define and can seem like alchemy. I hope you find the help you need and will consider giving me a call. I treat everyone with the tools I have worked on honing for decades: respect, attention, empathy, and humor, when it's called for. Although I think in-person sessions are ideal, I will work via phone call or audio conference.
