Professional statement
Carlota Zitreen is a Licensed Psychoanalyst on the Upper West Side of Manhattan with 20 years of experience in the mental health field. She specializes in anxiety, depression, life transitions, loss and grief, and trauma. She also has an interest in helping people understand themselves and to address issues of self-esteem, a major element in most mental health difficulties.
Carlota’s approach is generally psychoanalytical. In other words, she helps clients gain insight into their unconscious life. For many clients who are at a difficult juncture in their lives, this knowledge can help to better understand the driving forces underlying their current issues.
Carlota also works with dreams for those who are interested. This is one of the roads to unconscious material. By analyzing and understanding dreams the patient can have insight into those issues that are determining their present life.
Carlota takes an active approach in engaging with clients. She strives to be fully present with them, listening and responding empathically with compassion and without judgment
Carlota was formerly the Dean of the Westchester Institute for Training in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy, where she also received her LP in 2003.
