Hello! My name is Katerina Tarantino, and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist with experience supporting children, teens, and families through life’s complexities. My ideal client is someone who’s open to exploring their inner world, even if they’re not sure where to start. They may be facing anxiety, depression, major life transitions, or simply feeling like something isn’t quite right. They're not looking for quick fixes; they're looking for a space to feel heard, gain insight, and create meaningful change at their own pace.
My therapeutic style is warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental. I prioritize fostering collaboration and a safe space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings. I use narrative therapy, CBT, DBT, play therapy, & trauma-informed care.
Maybe you’re feeling stuck in a story that no longer feels like your own. Maybe you're carrying a version of yourself shaped by expectations that don't quite fit. If so, you're not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out alone either. This is your story. You get to decide where it goes next.
