There's room here for all of it.
Whatever you're carrying — in relationships, at work, in how you feel about yourself — this is a space to explore it and work through it.

I'm Kylie Horner, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychoanalytic psychotherapist based in Beacon, NY in the Hudson Valley and Manhattan. I see therapy as a space where I can help my clients explore who they are — so they can walk through life with greater freedom.
People often come in feeling stuck — in patterns they don't understand, in relationships that keep going the same way, in a version of themselves they've outgrown. Over time most people find they have more capacity: to feel things without being overwhelmed by them, to be in relationships without losing themselves, to make choices that actually reflect who they are.
My background spans social services, private practice, and earlier careers in journalism and the corporate world — all of which shape how I listen and how I think. I also enjoy working with people who come to therapy simply for self-exploration and personal growth. Psychoanalysis is particularly well-suited to this kind of work.
Alongside my private practice, I work at a psychoanalytic clinic in NYC offering low-cost therapy to people who might not otherwise have access to this kind of care.
I work in three ways
Trauma-informed, psychodynamic psychotherapy for adults experiencing depression, anxiety, self-doubt, or longer-standing pain from trauma, loss, or difficult early experiences.
For those who want to go further. Meeting more than once a week allows us to work with what's alive in real time — dreams, unconscious patterns, the pull of history.
When trauma is part of the picture, I weave EMDR into our ongoing work — not as a standalone treatment, but as something that emerges naturally within the therapeutic relationship.
I work with adults 18 and older, with a limited number of clients at a time.

Virtual sessions available throughout New York State.
I offer a free initial consultation — a chance for us to talk about what's bringing you in and get a sense of whether this feels right. There are many therapists and approaches out there, and finding the right fit matters. Our first conversation is as much about you getting a feel for me as it is about me understanding you.
Psychoanalysis takes seriously the question of how you came to be who you are. We are each shaped by inheritance, experience, and parts of ourselves we haven't yet had language for. Meeting more than once a week creates the conditions for this material to surface — through dreams, memory, and what emerges between us in the room. It is a depth-oriented therapy — one that works at the root of things, not just the surface.
Attachment-focused EMDR attends not just to traumatic events but to the early relational wounds — ruptures in safety, attunement, and connection — that shape how we carry pain. It uses bilateral stimulation to help the nervous system process what words alone may not reach.
Yes. I have post-graduate training in eating disorders and frequently collaborate with treatment teams — physicians, psychiatrists, or dietitians — to ensure care feels cohesive and well-supported. My approach looks beneath the surface of food and body concerns to understand the emotional, relational, and historical experiences that often underlie them.
I recommend weekly or more often. In my experience, consistency is what allows the work to really take hold — sessions build on each other and patterns have space to emerge.
Yes — both in-person and online throughout New York State. Many clients use a hybrid schedule.
You don't need to arrive with a clear agenda. Most people know something isn't working but can't quite name it. That's okay — the work itself tends to clarify what needs attention.
$250 for a 45-minute session. I am an out-of-network provider. Many clients are reimbursed 50–80% of session fees through their out-of-network benefits. Monthly superbills provided. I also partner with Reimbursify to submit and track out-of-network claims on your behalf. I reserve a number of spots for reduced-fee work.
Please reach out for a free initial consultation.
I'll be in touch within 1–2 business days.
