It took me almost 20 years to decide to finally invest in myself and find a sex therapist to work through some trauma. I am so happy that I did this work, and Dr. Namita was everything I could have asked for in a therapist. She made me feel comfortable right away and gave me exercises every session to work through some things on my own time. She took thorough notes so that she could always refer back to things I wanted to work on or things I've been through. She used breathing and mindfulness techniques in our sessions to further enhance the experience. My sex life has changed dramatically because of her. The way I can now tap into my own pleasure and be present with my partner is all due to Dr. Namita's sessions. She helped me find my voice. For this I will be forever grateful. Thank you, Dr. Namita! I have so much appreciation for you! read more

We are an older couple and we were significantly stuck in our our sex life after many years of being together. We were referred to Namita. Everything about that experience has been great. Namita is so caring, kind and empathetic to all points of view and she totally understood both of us. She calmly and patiently has listened to us and guided us (and continues to guide us) through a process that is not only leading to a better sex life, but also to a deeper and better relationship beyond the physical. We are both grateful that she has set us on a path to improving our relationship in way we may have thought not possible. I do not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in a similar circumstance read more

I worked well with Namita for about 12-13 sessions. Then she called me a "privileged white male" -- pretty much out of the blue. Charging outrageous rates (over $300 per hour when I worked with her) while calling people paying her "privileged" -- that takes some nerve. Calling someone who was abused as a three year old boy privileged (and grew up dirt poor) -- THAT takes some nerve. And abused -- by a woman! Namita, what kind of therapist are you that you would condemn me out of the blue and not expect for the trauma to get retriggered and YOU getting this projection? This is easy stuff. Perhaps she'd like to volunteer at a shelter somewhere for $10 an hour if she is so concerned about social justice. I hope others take this experience into account when picking someone to work with. Once again, that incident was amazingly upsetting, unprofessional, and unacceptable to me. Hopefully, she thinks twice before talking to clients that way again. Stay away! EDIT: Namita, you cannot save this with an apology or a free session. I think the best service would be for other potential clients to know how you've treated me. If they want to work with you after reading about this -- great. But if I read this review, I'd never work with Namita. So I look at this as providing a valuable service to the community. I want people to know how you behaved towards me. If someone wants to work with you after that -- cool but now they know. And, sorry, a rupture like this working with a person with trauma cannot and will not be fixed with any apology or free session. This information must be public. And also, notice how Namita focuses on the part where I said some of our work had been helpful -- and yes, some it has been helpful. But, Namita, would you like to address and explain why you called a sexual abuse victim "privileged"? Notice how she conveniently skips that part in her answer. I want you to answer that and explain why you said that and if you thought that choice of words and that behavior was appropriate. This is why you got the one star, so if you want to have an authentic discussion about this -- explain to me and to Yelpers why you called me that. You didn't say a thing about that in your response. Why is that? Please explain to fellow Yelpers how a man who was abused as a three year old boy and dealt with lifetime of pain, anger, hatred, broken relationships with other sexually abused women and problems from it is privileged? And why you called me that? THAT's the question I want you to answer and you said nothing about it in your response. You're sorry that it happened? That what happened? It didn't just happen, Namita. You made a CHOICE to call me that. Why did you make that choice? I want you to explain to me how hating my body, hating myself, wishing I was dead, hating the world being hospitalized for all sorts of mental health issues is privileged, Namita. Go! Answer this, please. I don't want your generic platitude apologies, I want a real answer to this question that you seem to be avoiding. read more

My husband and I have been together for nearly a decade and while we are in love with each other we had lost some of the spark that is commonly found with new love and wanted to find that connection again. We weren't sure where to go with our issues and wanted to find someone experienced, supportive and professional. Namita offered us a safe place to share what's on our heart and in our minds. We had never done any online therapy before so weren't sure how it was going to all work. We found it to be relaxing, effective and the convenience of being home alone right after the call was awesome. She masterfully guided us through our challenges and gave us helpful strategies to deepen our loving connection even more. read more

Dr. Namita Caen is an amazingly, skillful and sensitive Therapist. After being in menopause now for a couple of years, I have not felt sexual and also had lost the connection to my body.

Dr. Caen is a compassionate, innovative, open minded therapist who has guided me through a personal issue. The experience has given me a stronger sexual connection and has definitely improved my life. I have been working with Dr. Caen for the past 7 months. I know I can count on her to provide guidance and support without judgement. I really do believe that she makes every effort to be very good at what she does. I was not a big fan of therapy and I had mediocre experiences with therapists in the past. I used to get frustrated with the circular conversations and the same questions being asked different ways. This has not been my experience with Dr. Caen. I now enjoy therapy sessions! She used a combination of talk therapy, exercises and real life examples. I feel I can ask her specific questions on how to do something, how to improve something, and how to talk about something. She doesn't make me talk and talk until I'm sick of hearing about myself. She doesn't judge. I have to say it again... she doesn't judge. Her positive attitude rubbed off on me and I have to admit that my mind has been opened. I highly recommend her. read more

I had a great experience with Dr. Namita Caen, and posted a review which yelp did not include. I am posting again so hopefully other people will be able to benefit from my positive experience. I was referred to Dr. Namita by my therapist, and was impressed by both her qualifications and expertise. While finding talk therapy useful for a range of other issues, I needed more support in the area of intimacy and sexuality. The specific techniques and resources that I gained through our work together made the difference that really helped me resolve my issues around my body and my ability to enjoy intimacy. Namita helped me understand how to reconnect with my body and my libido in a way that feels positive and healthy. I'll admit I felt a little shy discussing such a personal topic, but her gentle, insightful, nonjudgmental style put me at ease right away, and her sense of humor lightened the whole process. I recommend her highly! read more

As a result of encouraging and down-to-earth sessions, Namita, helped us to reconnect with each other, and to find an erotic connection that we've never had before. read more
