Caroline Carberry, Ph.D. is a licensed clinical psychologist who focuses on providing evidence-based and culturally responsive treatment to children, teens, and families. Her work addresses various concerns, including anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), disruptive behavior, depression, social challenges, and transitions to adulthood. Caroline also specializes in working with autistic individuals and their families across the lifespan.

She graduated magna cum laude from Rice University and earned her Ph.D. in combined clinical-school psychology from the University of Texas at Austin. She did her clinical internship at Kennedy Krieger Institute and Johns Hopkins Medical School. She then completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Autism at NYU Child Study Center.

Caroline has trained in a variety of treatment modalities, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) to treat issues of anxiety and emotion regulation. She has also trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ExRP) to treat OCD and Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT). Caroline particularly enjoys working with parents to help manage difficult behaviors and anxiety in their children, and she uses functional family therapy (FFT), Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), RUBI (a parent training intervention for autistic children with disruptive behaviors), and parent management training (PMT) for this. She has also provided services in schools, hospitals, community centers, and specialty clinics.

Caroline has a longstanding passion for working with neurodivergent individuals. She has published several academic papers on autism and given presentations on autism-related topics at academic conferences and community events.

She was born and raised in New York City. Outside of work, she enjoys exploring different neighborhoods, trying new workout classes, and reading memoirs and mysteries.

Dr. Mandi White-Ajmani is a clinical psychologist with extensive experience in neuropsychological assessment of children and adults from many different backgrounds. She founded Small Brooklyn Psychology in 2013 and has grown it from a solo practice into a thriving group practice at Industry City, offering high-quality, research-backed neuropsychological assessment and therapeutic treatment.

Dr. White-Ajmani earned her BA from Cornell University and her MBA in Organizational Behavior and PhD in Clinical Psychology from Suffolk University. She completed her post-doctoral fellowship in clinical research in neuroscience and schizophrenia at NYU School of Medicine and then continued as a research scientist at NYU, investigating family violence. She earned an appointment as a Research Assistant Professor at NYU School of Medicine during this time. Now, as a clinician, she conducts neuropsychological assessment with people of all ages, with a wide range of psychological concerns. She has built a special focus on working with children and families, to help them understand the practical nuances of how each person approaches the world a little differently—and then how to use that information to make real-world changes.
