Katie Albavera, LCSW

Therapist for Kids and Teens

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

"I believe that our thoughts can be incredibly powerful and can shape the way we feel and respond."

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of experience working with kids and teens in the school setting. I have experience with IEPs, 504 plans, and behavior intervention plans. I value the importance of supportive relationships and work collaboratively with parents and school personnel to support the whole child.

I also value transparency and patience with my clients and families. I understand that each person is unique and grows at different rates when addressing personal and mental health needs. I strive to create a safe environment for clients to share when they are comfortable, as well as engaging activities for kids to have fun while they learn tools that will help them throughout their lives.

My passion is working with kids and teens who need support with social skills, anxiety, depression, school-related problems, emotional regulation, and behavior management. My therapeutic style is cognitive behavioral therapy. I believe that our thoughts can be incredibly powerful and can shape the way we feel and respond.

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, working on puzzles, crafting, and re-watching my favorite TV shows.
