Dr. Vanessa Caskey, PSY.D

Vanessa is a very kind and compassionate therapist. Her psychoanalytical skills are top notch and provide a lot of utility for dealing with trauma and other aspects of mental health. She creates a warm and thoughtful space for patients. Would recommend!

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Vanessa Caskey’s for a little over a year, and she has been truly instrumental in helping me work through my depression and anxiety. She’s pushed me to confront past traumas that I was hesitant to address, and in doing so, I’ve found a lot of healing and peace. I love how Dr. Casey combines more traditional psychotherapy techniques with practices like meditation and breathing exercises that I can incorporate into my everyday life. I would recommend her to anyone!

I'm been seeing Dr. Vanessa Caskey for a few years and she is one of the most empathic, caring, and helpful therapists I've seen. She is very personable, easy to talk to, and goes above and beyond for her patients. She really listens and approaches therapy holistically, including using different therapy techniques to tailor to my needs. I have recommended Vanessa to several other people who also feel the same way. She's a rare find!

I've been seeing Vanessa at this point for about a year and a half. All the reviews are accurate that she is wonderfully empathic, however I also want to point out that she is not just warm, but incredibly good at her role as a mental healthcare provider. She gives perspective and insight on issues that are incredibly hard to self-tackle and provides the patient the means to overcome obstacles that seem unfathomable. She is incredibly unjudgmental, yet will tell you the (sometimes hard) truth. I highly recommend her for any person undergoing personal crises or just seeking self-work and improvement.

I have seen Dr. Vanessa Caskey for the past several years. In addition to being warm, empathetic, and kind, I appreciate that she offers an integrated holistic approach which includes many tools & methodologies in addition to psychotherapy. As someone who is an eternal learner, learning about all the ways I can care for myself has been vital. She is someone who really personalizes the work for you and works hard to ensure you feel supported. I would recommended her.

Vanessa has a calm and safe environment for me to work through my trauma without being judged. Vanessa has been culturally and religiously respectful.

Dr. Caskey is incredibly warm and personable and soon made me feel safe and I began to develop trust and open up. She treated my anxiety and depression to a point where I feel stable again, and now we are treating the traumatic things I’ve lived that have been behind my depression. Not only is she empathetic, she is creative and has brilliant insights. The fact that she uses a variety of techniques versus using just one, makes the treatment and the results more holistic. I feel More comfortable in my body, mentally stable and able to manage my feelings than before. She is different than any other therapist I’ve been to. I highly recommend her. H, N

Vanessa has been one of the most empathetic and caring professionals I've ever met. The pressures of 2020 have been immense for me, spiraling me back to a period in my life when I was much younger, anxious, confused, alone and lost. Thankfully, these resurfaced feelings have now subsidized thanks to Vanessa's integral interventions which I'm truly so grateful for. She has helped me calm down in moments of great stress, even meeting with me outside of her hours in the middle of the night when I needed her the most. Her extra care outside of sessions truly sets her apart from any other mental health professional I've dealt with.

I’ve gone to Dr. Caskey for a couple of years and throughout that time she has been patient and completely understanding. She has provided insight into emotional struggles and helped me realize suppressed emotional concerns. Dr. Caskey is very open minded and uses various therapy techniques to help her patients. I would recommend Dr. Caskey as she is not judgmental and makes you feel safe expressing your emotions and concerns.

Vanessa is extraordinarily warm, empathetic, and dedicated to her work. It's immediately clear that she cares a lot about her patients and will do her best to find a mode of therapy that works for each of them individually (even the ones who, like me, are very skeptical of whether therapy can help them!). If something isn't working, she accepts feedback gracefully. She helped me realize that problems with my relationships with other people were at the root of my recurring depression and thanks to her, I was able to begin reframing the way I relate to others. One caveat: Vanessa is not the most traditional of therapists, so if you're looking for someone who's formal and hyper-professional and doesn't speak much during your sessions, you should look elsewhere.

I have been a patient of Vanessa for over 3 years now, having moved on from a previous therapist. She has helped me tremendously in my recovery, healing, and even self awareness - I suffered from many different types of traumas, abuse, and anxiety. What makes her remarkable is her uncanny ability to be both empathetic and relatable, yet still professional - you have trust in her work and guidance, a very rare trait in a therapist. Under her guidance, my life has changed so much for the better, and I understand myself more on a psychological and deeper level. She is a exceptional therapist. But above all, the biggest thing about Vanessa is how much she cares about patients; it shows in her work and the way she handles her patients.

I have been seeing Dr. Caskey for around 3 years now and she has been instrumental in my healing. She has gone above and beyond to ensure that I receive the proper medical and psychological treatment for my needs. She truly cares about her patients and their well-being. She has been helpful in my overcoming severe depression & anxiety, family & relationship trauma, and work-related difficulties but has also been helpful in providing advice. Additionally, she is understanding of any cultural viewpoints and takes that into account when providing treatment, (which is something that is rare to find in this city). I cannot recommend her enough!

I’ve been seeing Vanessa for over 5 years. I now live in California and FaceTime her for our sessions but when I’m in NYC, she always makes time for me to come in for a one on one. She has helped me through everything from milestones like moving across the country to major traumas like my now fiancé overcoming cancer twice. Her work and efforts have been life changing and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else!

From the first time Dr. Caskey made me feel welcome and safe - it wasn’t hard to open up to her. She’s helped me understand myself and situations better and has given me great coping techniques. I’m very grateful and feel much better under her care.
