I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses a person-centered cognitive behavioral therapy approach to help clients feel understood, supported, and empowered. I believe people grow best when they’re met with genuine empathy and practical tools they can use in their daily lives. I’m committed to creating an inclusive, affirming space where every person can explore their identity, challenges, and goals without judgment. My work is rooted in collaboration, compassion, and the belief that everyone has the capacity for meaningful change.

Choosing to begin therapy is a brave decision. My supportive and empathic nature will help you to navigate the struggles you are facing and develop solutions to everyday problems. As a therapist, I utilize a collaborative and flexible approach to ensure you are an active part of the process. I believe that humor and lightheartedness are vital in the therapy room. I incorporate mindfulness-based interventions, expressive art activities, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing techniques into my work. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. By utilizing a variety of therapeutic approaches, I am able to meet the specific needs of each individual. When working with children and adolescents, I believe in the importance of incorporating the entire family into the therapeutic process. I earned my Masters in Social Work from Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College in New York, NY and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked in school-based, mental health, and child welfare settings.

My name is Kaite (they/them), and I am a queer, neurodivergent, nonbinary therapist. I specialize in working with other queer and neurodiverse individuals to heal from trauma, manage depression and anxiety, and find ways to thrive in a world that was not designed with you in mind. I help by utilizing a variety of approaches in my practice, working with you to find strategies and techniques that align with your goals. I am trained in EMDR and CPT, but I also use DBT, MBCBT, ACT, IFS, somatic techniques, and artistic expression as modalities to help you reprocess and heal from trauma. In our first few sessions, you can expect a therapeutic space that is empowering, sensitive to your needs, and based on collaboration rather than looking at you as a problem to be fixed. My practice is unique because I approach healing from a holistic framework that takes all of your identities, experiences, and goals in mind rather than choosing a one size fits all approach. I am passionate about this work because I also know what it’s like to struggle after experiencing trauma, especially when trying to navigate complex medical systems where other providers do not look or experience the world like you do. I firmly stand with all marginalized groups and actively work within an antiracist, feminist, neurodiverse, and gender-affirming lens. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your continued journey towards mental wellbeing!

Over the past twelve years I have worked in the mental health field in a variety of capacities, including inpatient units, residential facilities, and day treatment settings. My experience and training with children, adults, and families in these settings has given me a practical knowledge and understanding when working alongside my clients to facilitate change. A significant part of my experience has been working with adults and adolescents coping with past trauma to adjust and move past stuck points, decrease depression, and move forward on the life they want to live. I strive to meet my clients in the circumstances they are in and make a collaborative effort to overcome the challenges they face. I utilize Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) in the treatment of PTSD, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Behavioral Activation (BA) for depression, and Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD. Forming relationships with clients and being witness to their progress and resiliency is something that has been rewarding. Outside of work I enjoy backpacking, kayaking, reading, and swimming.

“What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” -Mary Oliver I've been thinking about this every day since the first time I read it (or rather the first time it smacked me in the face, oh, so many years ago). It's some question, isn't it? Sometimes it inspires me. Sometimes it frightens me. Since it always challenges me, I've rooted my practice philosophy in it. It's kind of like the adult version of 'what do you want to be when you grow up'? How in the world do we answer that? If the question moves you like it does me then we're probably a good fit. Let's talk about the complexities of making life choices and finding fulfillment.
