Are you stressed out?

Overwhelmed? Do you feel like you can't

unhook from all the negative thoughts

running through your head?

I'm Kristina DeGaetano, LCSW. I apply a person-centered approach to choosing CBT, ACT, and Mindfulness Therapy, as needed, to help my clients manage stress, mitigate anxiety, alleviate depression, resolve relationship issues, and navigate life changes. 

I offer free 15 minute phone consultations for potential clients. Together we can determine if I am the right therapist for you.

During our sessions, we will take a look at what has been negatively impacting you. Then, together, we will apply helpful techniques to unhook you from the difficult thoughts and feelings that are getting in the way of you living the life you want to live.

“I am passionate about helping people find calmness and clarity in their lives.”
