Cara Klein, a clinical and forensic psychologist specializing in high-conflict divorce, trauma, and interpersonal violence, has moved her office to Manhasset from its former location in Roslyn Heights. With the move to professional space at 1615 Northern Blvd., Suite 101, Manhasset, NY 11030, Dr. Klein’s practice will now be known as Psychwell North.

As an Allied Health Professional at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, Klein will continue as a select community provider for employees of Northwell Health enrolled in the Northwell Health Clinical Integration Network IPA (CIIPA) through United Healthcare. Frequently, Dr. Klein finds that patients who seek her out for psychotherapy are struggling with anxiety and depression due to stressful life circumstances.

“As the demand for quality psychological care intensifies in an increasingly hectic world, I am proud to serve the dedicated Northwell Health physicians and staff members, many of whom live on the North Shore of Long Island,” Klein said. “Moving my office to Manhasset also allows those who work at North Shore University Hospital to come to therapy straight from work or during lunch hours.”

Furthermore, since 2003, after completing a two-year fellowship at North Shore University Hospital in Forensic Psychology, where she was trained in child custody evaluations, Klein has been sought after as a Divorce Coach. As a Divorce Coach, Klein guides families who are concerned about the impact on their children, or individuals who wonder how they can continue to perform at high-level careers while going through the disruptive process.  Klein has helped families whose parent-child connections have been unsettled by their divorces, as they battle estrangement and high-conflict.

After training in forensic psychology, Klein has been appointed over a hundred times by the area’s county and city Family and Matrimonial Courts.

“I’m usually asked by the judge to evaluate a complicated mix of cross-allegations of domestic violence, parental alienation, and mental health concerns in proceedings involving child custody,” Klein said. “My clinical work informs my forensic practice and vice versa.”

With over 15 years of experience in the family law arena, Klein is often contacted by matrimonial attorneys for guidance on the psychological aspects of an ongoing case or upcoming trial.
