Does your child or adolescent’s behavior leave you wondering, “What is going on?”Are they having meltdowns, withdrawing, struggling at school, worrying, or feeling sad? Children and adolescents often communicate their feelings through behavior long before they have the words to explain what they are experiencing.I work with children, adolescents, and families navigating challenges such as adoption, divorce, co-parenting, blended-family transitions, grief and loss, school-related worries, family conflict, and the growing push for independence. I help children and caregivers better understand what may be underneath the behavior while strengthening connection, communication, and emotional regulation. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor (RPT-S). I received my Doctorate in Clinical Social Work (DSW) and Master’s in Social Work (MSW) from New York University, and my Bachelor’s of Science in Social Work (BSW) from Cornell University. With more than two decades of clinical experience across inpatient, outpatient, and residential settings.

I believe therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely seen, heard and accepted. My goal is to create a space where you be yourself without fear of judgement. A place where you can explore both the challenges you're facing and the strengths you already possess.

Through telehealth, Katya makes therapy accessible and flexible, providing consistent support to clients no matter where they are located.

There's a kind of exhaustion that builds so gradually you stop recognizing it as exhaustion. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, family stress, and life transitions that can feel impossible to face alone, including infertility and the grief and uncertainty that often come with it. I also specialize in supporting parents of children with mental health or behavioral challenges, because the people trying hardest to help their kids often need real support too.

I am a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT) and board-certified art therapist (ATR-BC) who graduated from New York University’s Art Therapy program. My professional experience includes working with diverse populations across inpatient psychiatric, community-based, and underserved settings.

I have been working in the field of social work/ counseling for three decades. I am approachable, non-judgmental and believe that everyone has something special about them. At times life's challenges cloud our ability to believe this and darken our outlook on life and ourselves. I enjoy helping my clients see their worth and live a happier life. I also grew up with a sister with significant developmental delays and autism. My childhood definitely cultivated my desire to work in this field, while also giving me first hand experience about the challenges of being a sibling to a brother or sister with special needs. I have worked with many children and teens who may be struggling with a similar family dynamic.

I read and subscribe to the idea that instead of a patient needing a clinician to offer treatment, a client seeks the assistance of a counselor as more of a confidential teammate for improving a bio-psycho-social aspect of her/his life.

I have worked in the behavioral health field since 1997 and as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2015, making a mid-life career change to help those struggling with a variety of issues--anxiety, depression, self-esteem, substance and other addictions, recovery, grief and loss, family, relationship, life transitions and adjustment difficulties--anything negatively impacting one's daily functioning, happiness, quality of life.
