Getting to know Katherine McCusker
I hold the belief that every individual possesses the capacity for personal growth and healing. While recognizing the uniqueness of each person's support system, talents, and obstacles, my objective is to provide unwavering support to every client. Guided by empathy, I strive to understand your individual experiences and offer a fresh outlook. Moreover, I aim to provide a secure environment where you can authentically express yourself. I earned my Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Long Island University, Brooklyn, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support you effectively on your journey.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I would like each of my clients to know that you are valued. I have learned through my own experiences that healing is not linear but growth is easier with support. Everyone has been handed different circumstances in life but your power is in your story. I believe that you are the expert of your life; Your experiences are your story to tell.
We will highlight your unique strengths, gifts, and skills as we creatively work together. I am here to support you through your journey.
Clients can expect to feel heard, seen, and valued. You will be challenged but you will also know that I am proud of you and all that you have traversed to reach this point. I am proud of your current self and the versions of you that you’ve yet to reach.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In the first session I will complete an intake assessment to gather as much information to better assess and get to know you, your history, and what concerns have brought you to therapy and therefore set up goals. The following sessions, we will engage in talk therapy while pulling from various modalities to help you achieve your goals. Our sessions are 45 min in length on a weekly basis.
Please allow 15 minutes before the session to do the intake paperwork.
I PROVIDE PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICES ONLY; PLEASE NOTE I DON’T PROVIDE MEDICATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES.
