Katerina Tsernou
MA, CH
I help
women
, men and teens who are suffering from chronic disease, depression and PTSD restore health and break unhealthy habits so they can feel empowered and healthy again. Emotions are meant to be felt, but we often depress them, into the body that is constantly asking for a release. Sometimes the release comes in a form of a disease, insomnia, infertility, pain or an unhealthy behavior like smoking, over eating and being in a constant state of worry and fear. By harmonizing the body-brain relationship, we can all experience states of flow, bliss and inner healing.

Your decision to dedicate time to focus on yourself is the beginning of growth and change. An important question is why now? I offer a space where you will feel a sense of safety, trust, and warmth that enables you to open up, share your story, and feel heard and supported, without fear of judgement. I will challenge you to explore outside your comfort zone and discover your potential to do new things, make different choices and respond in new ways. I hope to foster a curiosity about your inner emotional life, a connection to yourself, an exploration of your thoughts, and an openness to new possibilities.

In addition to working with individuals, couples and families, I run groups for midlife and older
woman
as well as college students and young adults.
Over the past 30 years, a combination of diverse experiences and extensive training have made me the therapist I am today. I have always been interested in what makes us who we are. How much is nature or nurture, what are we born with and does the environment shape us. Psychotherapy provides a safe space for people to make meaning about their lives, the choices they make in school, work and love. Therapy is a process. Though there is often no simple, quick solution, it provides a safe space to explore in-depth, emotions, thoughts and actions to bring about change.

You are tired of feeling anxious, worrying about a variety of different things and overwhelmed by your long to-do list. Anxiety attacks are stopping you from living your best life. You are struggling to stop your anxious thoughts from flowing into everything you do. You are always helping others and sometimes not making time for yourself. You are a smart and ambitious
woman
who sometimes doubts her accomplishments. Your insecurities sometimes rob you of your peace and prevent you from being able to engage in life in a relaxed way. It doesn’t have to be this way.

I'm passionate about helping men,
women
, and young people escape anguish and giving them the skills they need to lead fulfilling lives. My approach to therapy is based on two principles. The first is to begin with a thorough clinical evaluation in order to proceed with the most effective evidence-based form of treatment. The second is to create a supportive and safe environment in which each client feels comfortable enough to do the difficult work of confronting and overcoming their issues. No matter how deep your pain, I believe you have the ability to lead a better life.

I am a Black
woman
therapist who is trauma informed, anti-oppressive, relationally oriented.
You often wonder what tomorrow will bring but instead of excitement and hopefulness, you feel nervous or a sense of dread. You imagine all the things that could go wrong which then makes you feel sad and scared. It’s been hard for you to enjoy your life. You’re not sure why you always think of the negatives. Perhaps it's because of your past pain. You’ve learned that anticipating the worst would protect you from getting hurt, taken advantage of or disappointed. And this thought process has kept you safe, but now is ruining your mood and your ability to be happy.

I'm passionate about working with children, youth,
women
, and families.
You're entering a space where you can be unapologetically you! That means you're free to laugh, cry, scream, and vent. I will be with you through each stage of emotion and I am going to challenge you to be in that moment, to feel, and to understand your emotions. I believe that healing begins when a client shows their authentic sense without worrying about being judged for what they are thinking or feeling. I create an atmosphere where the client understands that it is ok to not be ok but I also push the client to independently develop their own mental resilience and identify what they need to push forward through their struggles.

My ideal client is a
woman
, 18-55, dealing with a life transition (e.g., college, marriage, motherhood, new career, returning to work, widowhood, etc.) or relationship issue (e.g., constant arguing, separation, divorce/break-up, etc.). She is experiencing distressing symptoms of anxiety, loneliness or sadness - she wants to feel more like herself and return to her normal functioning. Sometimes her emotional struggles make sense and are tied to a life event, but sometimes she has no idea why she feels this way, like it just came on out of the blue.

I have worked with thousands of men and
women
in the arts, education, finance and entrepreneurship.
Throughout life, we all face many challenges...Maybe it's a painful break-up, being passed over for a promotion, a recent health event, or a traumatic experience from the past that you can't let go. As a clinical psychologist for over 30 years, I have successfully helped my clients gain insight into themselves so that they can change behavior, reconnect to their resilience and make significant improvements in their lives and relationships.I work with individuals, couples and families. I tailor treatment to the client because everyone has their own life circumstances, set of strengths and weakness, and agenda for therapy.

women
are at the highest risk of experiencing psychological distress during pregnancy and postpartum. Transition can be difficult - even positive changes can lead to an increase in stress and negatively impact mental health. As a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in maternal mental health, I provide psychotherapy with clients who are seeking to conceive, are currently pregnant, postpartum, or have experienced a pregnancy loss or stressful birth experience. I enjoy working with clients of all backgrounds and am an LGBT-affirmative psychologist.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
