Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
Supporting in healing from anxiety, depression, and trauma with EMDR, DBT, and trauma-informed care for calm, balance, and resilience.
Hi, my name is Kateryna Chorna, and I am a Mental Health Therapist. I specialize in helping adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, and trauma to manage their negative emotions so they feel safer, calmer, and more in control of themselves and their lives. I understand how overwhelming and debilitating these conditions can be, and I am here to support, guide, and empower you on your journey towards healing and recovery. I bring to the table proven expertise and experience in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Safe and Sound Protocol(SSP), Bio Dynamic Breathwork and Trauma Release System (BBTRS) and I am a Trauma and Resilience Practitioner (CTRP). These credentials enable me to equip you with the tools necessary to manage anxiety, depression, and PTSD in a sustainable and healthy manner. You don't have to struggle alone or let negative emotions define your life. Together, we can work towards a brighter future where you feel safer, calmer, and more in control of yourself and your life. Don't let negative emotions hold you back any longer.
