Therapists - Commack suite 200

I am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor who earned a Master’s degree at Long Island University. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at SUNY Old Westbury. I have experience serving and advocating for children and their families facing various adversities. I have worked with all age groups from toddlers to older adults in both individual and group counseling settings, with a focus on teens and young adults. My work includes supporting those experiencing anxiety, depression, gender identity conflicts, grief and loss, trauma, autism, life transitions, and school or socialization related anxiety. 

I am fluent in Spanish and hope to assist in the acceptance and normalization of psychotherapy in the hispanic community. I am mindful and respectful of my clients’ cultures and beliefs, where I aim to learn and incorporate their values in session. I believe therapy is very individual to the person and approaches can be bridged together to best suit the client. Some therapeutic approaches I gravitate towards include CBT, ACT, Person Centered, Mindfulness Based Therapy, and Interpersonal Psychotherapy. I strive to create a safe, laid-back environment where you can feel welcome to be vulnerable and know you are being received with compassion and support. I look forward to working in collaboration with you as you achieve your goals for better mental health!

My name is Katty, I earned my master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling at Long Island University. Throughout my journey, I’ve had the opportunity to support and advocate for children and families navigating complex life situations. I’ve worked with individuals across a broad age range, from young children to older adults, helping them cope with emotional challenges, developmental concerns, and major life changes. Being bilingual in English and Spanish allows me to connect deeply with diverse communities, and I’m especially passionate about making mental health care more accessible and embraced within the Hispanic community. 

Me dedico a crear un espacio seguro y acogedor donde cada persona se sienta comprendida, valorada y respetada por quién es y de dónde viene. I strive to incorporate each client’s cultural identity and values into our therapeutic work in a way that feels genuine and empowering. In my previous role as a family service worker, I guided families by accessing vital resources and overcoming everyday barriers. This work strengthened my belief in the importance of feeling seen and supported, especially during times of uncertainty or transition.

I aim to provide a warm, empathetic, and judgment-free environment where clients can safely explore their thoughts and feelings. My approach to counseling is grounded in relationship-building, active listening, and adapting techniques to suit each person’s unique needs and goals.

Everyone’s path to healing and growth is different, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside you as you move forward and create meaningful change in your life.
