Cayuga Health is proud to announce the opening of Cayuga Health Psychology, the organization’s inaugural outpatient behavioral therapy service. With a growing demand for behavioral health services locally, this new practice aims to enhance access to high-quality care for individuals facing social-emotional challenges.
Dr. Kaitlin Lilienthal, PhD, a seasoned practitioner with expertise in anxiety, sleep disorders, autism spectrum conditions, and life transitions, leads the practice. She offers evidence-based therapy services, including individual, couples, and family counseling. While currently focused on adults, the practice plans to expand services to children and teens in the future.
“I am proud to be part of the effort being made across the health system to support the whole-person health needs of my community,” said Dr. Lilienthal.
Cayuga Health Psychology accepts almost all insurance types, ensuring that community members can access the care they need. The office is conveniently located at 40 Catherwood Drive within Cayuga Health at the Ithaca Mall.
Dr. Lilienthal completed her fellowship and internship at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Syracuse. She then earned her Ph.D. from the University of North Dakota. She is a member of the National Register of Health Service Psychologists and the Collaborative Family Healthcare Association.

Prior to dialysis and during dialysis I have had several trips to the ER, due to other health issues & was admitted to CMC more than a few times.

Thank you CMC for taking care of me all these years!!”
“The staff and accommodations at Cayuga Birthplace are amazing!!! This is what it I imagine it would feel like to be a celebrity getting VIP treatment. I wish I could stay longer – even the food options are 5 Star! The amenities are great. Everything is clean and designed beautifully. Not a single complaint, only praises!”
“I have to say the last couple visits that I’ve had here have been wonderful. About a month ago I had an EGD and the staff were amazing! Explained everything in detail and made me feel at ease. I was very nervous and the nurse I had was very comforting. Tonight we had to take my son to the emergency room and they were awesome with him! We got right in. “
