Getting to know Kate Giandonato
Welcome. I hope that some information about me, who I typically treat, and how I approach the therapeutic relationship will help you determine if we may be a good fit to work together. I am a therapist holding two masters degrees in both clinical social work and child development and have been working in the field of clinical work for over 15 years. My academic and professional background helps me to have a deeper understanding of development and how it interplays with clinical needs.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session we will look at what brought you in to therapy. Usually it is a lot of seemingly small things that have added up. Othertimes it is a bigger internal or external event or pull. We will talk though those components and chart how we want to manage and respond to them.
I will ask you about various aspects of your life and what you enjoy. We come to therapy with so much knowledge about ourselves and what works and what is less successful. In the beginning stages of treatment, we will use your understanding of yourself to add to your pre existing resources and to shift those that are perhaps not currently as helpful.
We will develop a plan to help guide us though your treatment process, regularly checking to ensure that you are getting what you want and need from the therapeutic experience.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
There are many things that have made our work helpful and restorative. I bring a lot of myself to our work. I bring experience in working in trauma recovery, parenting support, child and adolescent development and values work among others. I bring in humor and "Dad jokes" and partner with you to help decide the next course of action together. Lets chat more about what you are looking for to help see how I can use pieces of myself and my training to help you in your process.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
