Corianna Sichel (She/her)

I bring warmth, compassion, and humor to my work. I draw on my training in multiple evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and insight-oriented, psychodynamic, and relational approaches. I empower my clients by building on their existing strengths and resiliencies, supporting healing and change, and collaborating to cultivate new ways of coping, consistent with their goals. Together, we create individualized treatment plans and check in frequently to ensure progress. I received my BA in from Duke University and my PhD from NYU, completing a fellowship at the Yale School of Medicine and postdoctoral training at the New York State Psychiatric Institute/Columbia University. In addition to working as a therapist, I am on faculty at Columbia, where I maintain an active program of research focused on mental health services.

At the core of my work as a therapist is my deep belief in the human capacity for growth, healing, fulfillment, and joy. My approach to therapy is informed by multiculturalism and intersectionality, meaning that I consider clients' unique social and cultural contexts and conceptualize identity as complex and multifaceted. In addition to being a therapist and researcher in my professional life, I am a daughter, sister, parent, partner, and friend. Before pursuing graduate studies, I worked in management consulting and public relations both domestically and abroad. Feel free to reach out for a phone consultation—I would be delighted to connect, answer your questions, and see if I might be able to help.
