Dr. Caron Nogen

As a licensed Psychologist and Neuropsychologist (PSY 22860), I specialize in working with adults and families dealing with anxiety, neurological change, trauma, and chronic health conditions. I am also passionate about providing therapy for the purpose of personal development and deepening of self-inquiry. With a compassionate and whole-person approach, I use a combination of positive psychology, neuroscience, cognitive behavioral principles, somatic psychotherapy, and mindfulness-based treatment to help my clients achieve optimal mental and emotional healing. I also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) and psychedelic integration. Please contact me with specific questions regarding these treatments, practice guidelines, and clinical research. Affinity Mindset also provides wellness consulting for executives and organizations using a strengths-based approach to prepare you with practical tools to achieve authentic leadership, learn how to identify and manage emotions, gain a better understanding of situational drivers of behavior, and effectively lead and influence others. Please feel free to reach out for an initial consultation. I'd be happy to answer any questions and together explore how I can best support your wellness journey.
