Paige Sweet

Psychoanalyst, LP

I offer psychoanalysis and psychotherapy to adults in person near Union Square. I specialize in matters related to the body, wishes and desires, and relationships of all kinds, which is another way of saying anything related to gender, sexuality, and embodiment. I’m also a generalist at heart and see people experiencing depression, anxiety, symptoms of trauma, and other difficulties. I approach the therapeutic process as a meaningful, co-created experience that lends itself to new ways of being in the world.
