LYNN SALADINO, PSY.D., S.E.P.

After earning a BA with honors in Psychology from Fairfield University, I completed a doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Nova Southeastern University with a specialization in Health Psychology. It was my lifelong passion to work in mind/body healthcare, so this career is literally a dream come true. 
Following my post-doctoral work at Tufts University I started a private practice in Boston, Massachusetts with the intention of providing counseling the way I’d like it done for myself- in a real, straightforward, and practical way. After about 6 years, I decided to return to my home state of New York with the intention of seeking more opportunities to offer quality mental healthcare to more people.
Now, with almost 15 years in private practice, I can truly say the experience has been a gift. From my time writing a column for Health Magazine, to contributing for Oprah and various other publications, to supporting corporations during the pandemic, I’ve learned so much that helps inform my individual work as a therapist. Pairing that with continuous learning, such as the Somatic Experiencing training, I’m always looking for more ways to creatively help each of my clients.

My philosophy as a clinician is simple: be a real person and apply as much evidence-based knowledge as possible to create a personalized and holistic approach. Sessions are a series of conversations where we discuss tough life situations and find options, solutions, and ways to cope. My goal is give clients tools to navigate life with more ease, build a confident sense of self, and ease any obstacles from the past.  

Specializing in: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Experiencing (a body-based trauma therapy), holistic approaches, and single woman life.

Quick Facts

What’s are you working on right now?

There’s so many things! But if I had to sum them all up, it would be building a life and a business that I’m really proud of.

Favorite color? 

It’s changed over the years, but when I saw the color of the Mediterranean on my trip to France, that quickly took the top spot.

What's your perfect NYC breakfast?

A really good croissant or old school egg sandwich with an iced decaf americano (you don’t want to deal with me on caffeine!).

If you weren't a therapist, what would you be?

I’d likely be working in food in some capacity. Bringing people together and honoring great ingredients is one of the most amazing things!

What's one thing you wish people knew about going to therapy?

It’s the most helpful thing ever if you find the right counselor at the right time in your life. If something isn’t feeling right, don’t give up on the process completely.
