About

I’m Kylie Horner, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychoanalytic psychotherapist based in Beacon, NY and Manhattan. I work with people who find themselves at moments of transition—when something feels unsettled, when familiar ways of coping stop working, or when life feels out of alignment in ways that are difficult to articulate.

 

I believe that symptoms, emotional struggles, and relational patterns are not problems to eliminate, but meaningful expressions of a psyche trying to adapt, protect, or make sense of experience. My work is grounded in careful listening—to thought, feeling, and the body—and in an attention to how early relationships and lived history continue to shape the present.

 

My background includes trauma-focused and community-based work, which informs how I understand resilience: not as something we force or “build,” but as something that can emerge when experience is met with curiosity, understanding, and connection.

 

I hold a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Colorado and a master’s degree in social work from Hunter College. I am currently completing post-graduate psychoanalytic training at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy in New York City.
