Katherine Candelario, MHC-LP(She/Her/Hers)

Hi, I’m Katherine. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel genuinely heard, supported, and empowered to show up as your full self. If you’re navigating anxiety, relationship stress, past experiences that still feel present, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of your next step, my goal is to offer a warm, grounded environment where you can explore what’s coming up for you without judgment. Therapy with me is a collaborative process—one where we move at your pace and focus on what feels most meaningful to you.

I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and deeply value creating a culturally responsive and affirming space for clients from diverse backgrounds. I work with adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, anger, and interpersonal challenges. My approach is supportive yet practical, helping you identify your strengths while building tools that support lasting change. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused techniques, always tailoring sessions to your individual needs and goals.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in child protective services, supporting children and families affected by addiction, domestic violence, and complex family systems. That experience shaped my belief in resilience and the importance of meeting people with compassion and understanding. I hold a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Bonaventure University and am a Limited Permit Mental Health Counselor in New York State. I would be honored to support you as you work toward healing, clarity, and growth.
