“She’s incredible. I’ve seen a few therapists but she’s the first one I’ve ever truly connected with. Still tells you as it is and doesn’t sugar coat, (if you want that) she told me to get my shit together and really talked me through it all trying to help. It was a great experience and I’ll be making her my long term therapist”

Getting to know Katya Cerrato
There are few things in this life more impactful than feeling seen, heard, and understood. Navigating my own mental health as a first-generation Mexican-American, I have firsthand experienced the uphill battle many of us face in having our mental health concerns addressed and validated. I pride myself on furthering the de-stigmatization of therapy by creating an accessible, approachable, and authentic environment where you can be yourself. I believe in providing a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals to receive support and work toward healing. Utilizing elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Psychodynamic Therapy, I provide an individually tailored approach to each client. I believe in the strength of developing insight into your emotions and patterns, looking both backward into our past and inward into our present to heal wounds and create a brighter future. Everyone's journey to healing looks different, and I am grateful to walk this path with you.
I hold a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, which has equipped me with a strong foundation to support diverse clients. My passion lies in working with those navigating generational trauma and supporting marginalized populations and POC communities. I have extensive experience addressing clinical concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mood disorders. I am also deeply interested in helping those navigating life transitions such as divorce, interpersonal or family conflicts, and other high-stress situations. My background in community mental health and continued connection to community-based efforts allows me to explore these themes through a social justice lens that promotes healing both for the individual and the communities they belong to. With experience across the lifespan and an eclectic approach to therapy, I strive to create a space where people of all backgrounds feel embraced and welcome.
