Katelynn Villari

I am a firm believer in empowering children and teens to recognize their individual strengths and gifts. I work to create a safe atmosphere with clients using an eclectic range of skills such as play, activity based or talk therapy. I have worked with children, adolescents and families who may be experiencing concerns with behavioral and emotional regulation/disorders, Autistic Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, trauma, social skills, anxiety, depression, family conflict, self esteem, grief and anger. I have extensive experience working with adolescents and children who are having difficulty navigating their personal and social worlds. I am trained in evidence based and trauma-focused therapies and I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and families through the lenses of play, music, art, sensory, and narrative therapies. I am a person centered therapist with experience in CBT, DBT, as well as a background in mindfulness. I believe in holistic healing and adapting many modalities. Growing up is one of the most important times in our lives and it can be difficult to navigate. I strive to empower children and adolescents to think positively, be in the present moment, and express themselves safely. I hope to create a welcoming space based on mutual trust and understanding.
