Meet Dr. Pasahow
Dr. Carole Pasahow
Clinical Social Work / Therapist, DSW, LCSW
Clinical Director of the Accredited Center for Psychological Counseling
Dr. Carole Pasahow is a highly-trained psychotherapist, with over 40 years of experience in the field.
She believes all individuals possess the innate ability to heal themselves. With the right tools and support, Dr. Pasahow is dedicated to helping individuals find their pathway to change and fulfillment.
I am continually inspired by the bravery and resilience of my patients as they strive for a more fulfilling life.
And I am deeply committed to supporting individuals as they confront their innermost challenges. I have worked with more than a thousand individuals and couples in my four decades of practice.
My work spans across sex therapy, psychotherapy, and medical practices, allowing me to collaborate with gynecologists, urologists, and other healthcare professionals. I even had the privilege of running a joint practice with a gynecologist specializing in sexual pain disorders.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in motivation and self-empowerment, with a firm belief that everyone has the innate capacity to heal themselves.
Sexuality, intimacy and trauma are all deeply personal. They shape how we view ourselves, how we connect with others and how we experience the world. These experiences can sometimes leave us with limiting beliefs that hinder our ability to experience pleasure, connection, and self-worth. Though these experiences are in the past, their impact lingers, influencing our attitudes, behaviors, and self-perception.
I help individuals and couples explore these past experiences with compassion and understanding, enabling them to transform and grow. This method is more experiential and profound compared to traditional talk therapies, and I’ve found it to be highly effective in helping people find lasting change, connection, and fulfillment.
Our sessions are practical, goal-oriented and often playful, reflecting the real life concerns of my patients.
Treatment is tailored to each individual and couple as they learn to deepen their connection with themselves and or each other.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you on your journey towards a more satisfying and empowered life.
