Her approach

Dr. DiCarlo seeks to care for each patient as an individual with unique developmental, medical, psychological, and social factors. No person is the same as another. If psychiatric illness is present, accurate diagnosis is key to effective treatment. In most cases, Dr. DiCarlo leans strongly into the importance of psychotherapy— with an emphasis on psychodynamic and family therapies. When medications are prescribed, it is typically with thoughtful integration of psychotherapy as well. Dr. DiCarlo helps people talk about stress, relationship struggles, childhood pain that continues to affect them, life transitions, losses, and hopes. She will listen and help you treat yourself more kindly. Dr. DiCarlo is here to support your growth in loving yourself and others.
