Caroline Goan, LMFT

Uninspired to Unstoppable : Empowering, soul-centered therapy for individuals in their 20s and 30s ready to harness the power of their own potential.

In-person and virtual therapy in NYC; virtual sessions anywhere in New York state.

With a highly effective, unique, therapy experience that helps you gain the clarity and confidence to build a life you love…with a therapist that truly gets it.

Despite doing all the “right” things, you’re staring into a future that looks more like a black hole than a runway.

Harness your unique strengths to tap into the power of your potential.

I’m Caroline Goan, MA, LMFT, and I’ve been there – ticking all the boxes and living a life that looked good – even great – on paper, all the while wondering “Is this it?” I figured out how to navigate my own path, and I’ve spent the last six years helping others through their own quarter-life ruts.

Why spend another day … 

→ Knowing the path you’re on isn’t cutting it, but feeling stuck with no idea what charting a new course would look like, waiting for life directions to arrive. 

→ Trying to show the real you, but scared it might just be too real for anyone else. 

→ Wanting a relationship, but struggling to connect.

→ Worried that your “just for now” post-grad job is turning into a life sentence. 

→ Grinding through life, wondering if everyone got the playbook but you. 

→ With 200 saved quotes on Instagram…temporarily inspired, yet nothing has changed. 

→ Watching everyone else burn bright with hustle while you’re just burning out.

→ Feeling the cracks in your romantic relationship widen, not sure if you’re meant to fix them or flee.

→ Self-sabotaging every win like you're allergic to success.

→ Knowing deep down your true potential but feeling lost figuring out how to tap into it.

→ Feeling lonely and isolated in a city full of people —surrounded by millions yet totally solo. 

→ Financially dangling by a thread and dreading having to hit up your parents, again. 

→ Always being the group's unpaid therapist but when you need a couch session, it's crickets.

→ Replaying awkward party convos in your head for days, and dwelling on breakups for … TBH, you’re still dwelling.

Hi, I’m Caroline

A little about me – Originally from the Midwest, I was lucky to call the Pacific Northwest home throughout college and early adulthood.  I began my professional career by diving headfirst into the tech startup world. Despite checking many of the “right” boxes, I couldn’t shake the feeling that there had to be more …. It was through this journey, my own Quarterlife Crisis, that I discovered the power of listening to, and trusting, my intuition. Ultimately leading me to transition from a career in tech to becoming an NYC based psychotherapist dedicated to guiding individuals through the often turbulent waters of the first stage of adulthood, sometimes referred to as Quarterlife.

I understand that societal or family expectations often paint a linear picture of what lies ahead - often as a series of predetermined milestones and boxes simply to be checked. In reality, however, the journey  to finding your authentic path and purpose is rarely that straightforward. How much of your life is chasing what you think you should be doing versus charting a course that reflects who you truly are?

I'm here to help you tune into your intuition to navigate the shoulds, embrace the wants, and craft a life that's authentically yours. Whether it's redefining success, carving out personal happiness, or just creating some space each week for yourself, I'm your guide to sorting it all out. 

Let's find your path, together.
