Prolonged Exposure Therapy in Astoria, NY
Many of us will experience anxiety, depression, or trauma in our lifetime. We tend to carry these experiences silently and heavily weighed down by them, often leaving us feeling hopeless, exhausted, isolated, and unhappy. For some, they can also lead to significant mental health issues and unhelpful coping strategies. This pain is significant. Your suffering is real. And, if you're reading this, you've probably tried everything to fix it. You may have believed that nothing could change or get better. I am here to help you challenge those beliefs and provide you with a set of skills to help you cope with your distress.

My name is Kate. I have 18 years experience as a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor. My practice is LGBTQI-focused, though clients of all identities are welcome.

I understand that there is no ‘one size fits all’ treatment and flexibly tailor evidence-based treatments (e.g., CBT, DBT) to meet your unique needs and goals. Over the course of treatment, you can expect to better understand the sources of unhelpful patterns in your life and how to change them. You will leave treatment empowered and equipped to maintain positive changes and achieve your most meaningful and fulfilling life.

My goal as a therapist is to create a supportive environment for folks to explore their gender and sexuality. Perhaps you identify as queer, bi, lesbian, gay, pan, ace, trans, nonbinary, agender, poly, kinky, something else, everything, and/or nothing at all. You deserve to have a space where you can learn more about the different parts of yourself without judgment or pressure. As a queer person who has sought out therapy myself, I know how challenging it can be to find an affirming therapist. Even if your identity isn’t central to your therapeutic goals, know that every part of you will be honored and affirmed in our work.
