Getting to know Dr. Marcela Kitaigorodsky

The decision to engage in psychotherapy is an important step toward reaching your full potential. Learning healthier ways to manage life stressors is key to preventing mental health issues, improving overall happiness and well-being, and even reducing the risk of developing life-threatening diseases. Are you currently struggling with constant worry, interpersonal conflict, work-life balance issues, persistent negativism, or difficulty adjusting to a recent diagnosis or health condition? If you have tried to manage ongoing stress on your own but feel it is time to receive professional help, I am here to support you. I hold a PsyD in Neuropsychology and a Master's in Psychology from Albizu University, completed an internship in Psychology, and a fellowship in Clinical Neuropsychology at Jackson Memorial Hospital, equipping me with the expertise to guide you through your challenges.

As a native Spanish speaker, I provide services in English and Spanish.
