Katelyn Peers, LCSW

Katelyn Peers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 15 years of professional experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate complex emotional and relational challenges. She has spent much of her career supporting families affected by trauma and mental health needs, and in recent years her work has centered on children and caregivers involved in foster care. Her background also includes pastoral counseling, where she offered guidance to couples and individuals in a church setting.

Katelyn’s therapeutic approach is warm, interactive, and personalized. She emphasizes treating each person with sensitivity, dignity, and compassion, and she avoids stigmatizing labels or placing limitations on someone because of a present struggle. Her clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy, and she adapts these methods to meet the unique needs of each client.

Faith and spirituality are important aspects of Katelyn’s perspective; she identifies as a Christian and believes that faith can play a role in emotional health and restoration. At the same time, she centers the client in the therapeutic process and tailors her work to whatever approaches help a person feel most comfortable and supported. Katelyn works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, coping with life changes, relationship issues, grief, eating concerns, parenting, career matters, bipolar disorder, depression, and compassion fatigue, along with additional focuses like adoption and foster care, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and self-love. She provides therapy in English and draws on her clinical experience to help clients find practical strategies and renewed resilience.
