Getting to know Kristina DeGaetano

Hello, I'm Kristina. Are you feeling stressed out and overwhelmed? Do you feel that difficult thoughts and feelings make it hard to do things that you once enjoyed, maybe even impacting your relationships with the important people in your life? I understand how challenging this can be, and I'm here to help you navigate through these tough times. I specialize in managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and other clinical concerns. My goal is to support and guide you on your therapy journey, providing a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. During our sessions, we will work together on learning new skills such as mindfulness and grounding techniques to help you cope with life's challenges. I graduated from the University at Buffalo with a Master's in Social Work in 2002. Over the years, I have gained varied experience working in private practice, outpatient substance abuse treatment, and outpatient mental health treatment. This diverse background has equipped me with the tools and knowledge to address a wide range of issues effectively. I believe that everyone is unique and different, so I do not use a 'one size fits all' approach to therapy. Instead, I incorporate elements of evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. This flexible approach allows me to tailor our sessions to meet your specific needs and goals. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is important to me, and I strive to create an environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, we will work on developing strategies that can help you lead a more fulfilling and balanced life. If you're ready to take the first step towards positive change, I invite you to reach out. Let's work together to help you find the peace and happiness you deserve.
