Licensed to practice in New York and accepts 4 insurances. Specializes in Bipolar Disorder, Personality Disorders, Women's Issues and 10 more.
My name is Kathryn Vetrano, a therapist for over eight years who specializes in treating both biologically female adolescents and adults of color, dealing with mood disorders, borderline, personality disorder, and depression. I use a dialectical, behavioral approach to treat emotion, dysregulation, harmful coping skills, having trouble navigating relationships, and to cause an increase in quality of life. I work with clients to improve their emotional reactions to real life situations.
Clients can expect to discuss who they are, where they come from, their psychiatric history, and their goals of treatment.
My empathy and compassion; I am able to put myself in a client's shoes and experience emotions with the client without any judgment
I typically work with clients who are from the ages of 13 and older, who feel as though they do not know who they are, and why they are feeling the way they do. A client of mine usually has trouble navigating their emotions, have complications within relationships, and do not have useful coping skills.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Eight years ago, I was formally trained in DBT via the Marsha Linehan's, Bevavioral Tech Program and then was placed on a formal DBT program, working with high risk, adolescence and adults. I have been using DBT skills to work with many different populations of clients over the last eight years. I teach DBT skills so the client is able to implement them in their lives, increasing their quality of life and replacing negative coping skills with productive ones.

I have tried therapy in the past and have always left feeling less hopeful, so I was skeptical to try again. However, after my first meeting with Kathryn I immediately felt uplifted and like I have finally found someone who I think will understand me and actually help. Her energy is so warm and welcoming. After speaking with her, I know this was the right step and the best decision I could have made for myself.

My daughter and I had our first family therapy session today, and we left feeling really positive about the experience. From the moment we met Kathryn, she brought such a bubbly, warm energy that immediately put us at ease. She was easy to talk to, had a great sense of humor, and created a space where both of us felt comfortable opening up. This felt like a great match right from the start. We're really looking forward to continuing sessions with Kathryn.

I’ve been through a lot of therapists trying to find one who I’m most comfortable with. Kathryn is so warm, so relatable, and she really really listens. She is amazing.
