Caroline Seligman, MA, LMSW

After completing my undergraduate education, I graduated from the University of Chicago in 2012 with my Masters in Clinical Social Work. There I studied to be a psychotherapist, with a special focus on neuroscience & psychodynamic theory and practice. I’m interested in how the physical makeup of the brain shapes behavior and thought, as well as how we can shape the mind through modifying our behaviors, thoughts, and experiences. Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to be meaningfully, biologically changed by experience as the result of our interactions with our environment. My interest in non-ordinary states is highly connected to my curiosity about neuroscience and transpersonal psychology. While I am not at all religious, I feel the spirit is a meaningful variable for many in their healing journey and I make plenty of room for it in my therapy practice. I spent my teenage years growing up in Chicago and Mexico studying and making art. I also worked as a musician before going to grad school to become a therapist. After many years working in hospice and palliative care in Nashville and Chicago and LA, I settled down in New York. Beyond my career as a therapist, I am a working visual artist. I live in the Hudson Valley with my husband and two kids.
