Meet Kate
Please note: right now I am working via Telehealth only.
Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), with a masters in Social Work from Fordham University and a masters in Human Sexuality from New York University.
​
I offer a few different services: for Individuals and Couples, I offer Counseling, Coaching, and Personalized Classes. I also offer Consulting to Agencies, Businesses and Other Organizations.
Check out my Services page to learn more!
I have special training and nearly ten years' experience with Sexuality, Relationships, LGBTQIA+ issues, and Gender Identity. I'm also kink/poly/alt lifestyle-friendly as well.
Additionally, I also have extensive special training and experience with Disability, particularly folks with I/DD-related diagnoses like Autism. For example, for the last 4 years, I've worked in addition to this private practice as the Social Relationships and Sexuality Educator for Wildwood Programs of Latham, NY. Along with direct work with Individuals, I have helped agencies by providing staff training, policy revision, sexual consent evaluation advisement and general program consulting regarding how NY State agencies can improve their ability to support the social & sexual wellbeing of those they serve.
Further, regarding my work with individuals, I also have speciality coaching people working with the Bariatric/Weight Management process.
Career change, general life coaching, and general mental health & wellness are additional areas I can also assist with.
​
Although I might use all kinds of techniques to help you, I tend to favor aspects of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) Motivational Interviewing and Creative Arts Therapies.
Personally, I strive to bring all my clients warmth, compassion, acceptance, and above all, a safe space! I want to help you listen to yourself so we can work through your issues successfully.​
