Get to Know Me

I am a clinical psychologist and certified sexual health therapist who provides individual interventions to women with cancer. I currently serve as the Head of the Female Sexual Medicine and Women’s Health programs and care for patients at Memorial Sloan Kettering’s Barbara White Fishman Women’s Health Center.

I am also a member of the attending staff of the Gynecology Service in the Department of Surgery and of the Department of Psychiatry.

My research interests have included sexual health, cancer-related infertility, and patients’ quality of life following surgery. I serve on the quality of life committee of the Gynecologic Oncology Group and am also a member of the other scientific and medical societies including American Psychological Association; American Association of Sex Counselors, Educators and Therapists (AASECT); and International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health (ISSWSH).

What I Do at MSK

A psychologist has special training in therapy to help people with mental and behavioral health issues.

So knowledgeable. Excellent provider.

Mar 4, 2025

Dr. Carter is fantastic! Great recommendations from her and she is very trustworthy. I did get a notification from MSK saying my appointment was at 9:15. I wished it said that my actual appointment was at 9:30a.m. as I logged on too early. On the website it differentiates between these two times, but not via text alerts.

Feb 26, 2025

Dr. Carter put me at ease when I explained how embarrassed I was talking about personal issues. I trusted her from the beginning with listening to my concerns.

Feb 12, 2025

Provider listened and had the knowledge that no other provider was able to answer.

Feb 5, 2025

Dr Carter is helpful in many ways: finding alternate creams etc when one produces a rash, explaining what each part of her prescribed medications and exercises is meant to do, how to manage all the parts of treatment and chart progress.
