Kylie Horner, LCSW — Psychotherapist in Beacon, NY and Manhattan
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychoanalytic psychotherapist with offices in Beacon, NY in the Hudson Valley and Manhattan. I work with adults across all stages of life, though I'm especially drawn to supporting those navigating college and early adulthood, where so much surfaces at once and therapy can be particularly transformative.
My background spans journalism, corporate settings, and clinical social services — including work at Safe Horizon and the NYU McSilver Institute — before establishing a private practice rooted in relational psychoanalytic and trauma-informed principles.
I believe therapy works when there is genuine openness on both sides. My role is to offer a space that is direct, non-judgmental, and attuned — where you can learn about yourself with acceptance and compassion.

Services
I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to support both symptom relief and a deeper understanding of who you are and how you came to be that way. We are each shaped by what we've inherited, what we've lived through, and potentials within us that haven't yet found their full expression. Therapy helps expand what is possible.
For those interested in more intensive work, I offer sessions two or three times weekly. This frequency allows for a depth of exploration — particularly around patterns that feel persistent or difficult to understand.
At times I also draw on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which attends not just to "Big T" traumatic events but to cumulative early relational wounds — ruptures in safety, attunement, and connection — that shape how we carry pain and the beliefs we have about ourselves. It uses bilateral stimulation to help the nervous system integrate negative emotions and beliefs connected to past experiences.
Through the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy, I see a small number of clients on a sliding-scale basis who are unable to pay a standard fee. Please contact me directly to inquire about availability and eligibility.

Billing & Insurance
I am an out-of-network provider. If your insurance plan includes out-of-network benefits—as many PPO plans do, including Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare/Evernorth, and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield—you may be eligible for significant reimbursement. I provide a monthly superbill for you to submit to your insurer.
I reserve a portion of my practice for sliding scale, otherwise I charge a usual and customary fee for NYC and Beacon areas.
