Katelyn Peers

Katelyn Peers offers compassionate, practical therapy for people and families facing both urgent and long-standing challenges. She acknowledges that deciding to pursue therapy is a significant step and emphasizes the importance of finding a strong personal connection with a therapist alongside solid clinical experience.

With 14 years of clinical experience, Katelyn has focused much of her work on families coping with complex trauma and mental health concerns. In recent years she has worked extensively with children and families involved in foster care, helping them navigate the many moving parts and difficult circumstances that system involvement can create. She also brings pastoral counseling experience and has provided counseling to couples and individuals within church settings.

Her therapeutic style is warm, interactive, and individualized. She treats people with sensitivity, dignity, and compassion, avoiding stigmatizing labels and resisting the idea that a current struggle defines a person. Katelyn often draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques and family systems theory while tailoring methods to each person or family she meets.

As a Christian, Katelyn includes faith and spirituality as potential resources for healing and emotional well-being when that aligns with a clientâs needs and comfort. She is a licensed clinical social worker in New York and brings both clinical training and a respectful, person-centered approach to each session. Above all, she centers the process on the individual or family seeking help.
