Jane Carter(She/Her/Hers)

Dr. Jane E.M. Carter is a clinical psychologist who works with teens, adults, couples, and professionals navigating complex emotional and relational challenges. Her clients often include individuals seeking deeper self-understanding, those experiencing transitions in identity or relationships, and people working through patterns of anxiety, perfectionism, or self-doubt. She also has extensive experience supporting LGBTQ+ clients, graduate students, and individuals in high-demand professions who are learning to balance ambition with authenticity.

Dr. Carter’s therapeutic style is warm, relational, and insight-oriented. She draws from psychodynamic and attachment-based frameworks to help clients make sense of recurring experiences, both past and present, and to develop a more compassionate understanding of themselves. Her approach emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship as a space where new ways of relating can be experienced and internalized. She believes that meaningful change grows from curiosity, reflection, and the courage to stay present with one’s emotional life.

In addition to her psychotherapy work, Dr. Carter offers comprehensive psychological assessments for employment, academic, and learning-related concerns. She provides full evaluations for learning disabilities, as well as focused assessments for ADHD, and offers letters of support for emotional support animals and gender-affirming medical or surgical care. Her assessment process is collaborative and designed to help clients better understand their cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning in practical, actionable ways.

Dr. Carter is licensed in Connecticut and holds a PsyPACT credential, allowing her to provide telehealth services to clients in participating states. She maintains a private practice in New Haven, where she offers both in-person sessions and secure virtual appointments. Her practice provides a calm and reflective environment where clients can feel supported in exploring themselves and their relationships with openness and care.
