Welcome to my bio! I am Katie Piura and I identify as a Honduran American/ Latina clinician. I grew up in Honduras and in U.S. My culture is something I am very proud of and a strength as a clinician as I can connect with clients of diverse backgrounds and help them feel understood. I have extensive experience working with diverse clients.

I look forward to bearing witness to your healing journey. It is an honor for clients to share their experiences with me. It is important for me to have a nurturing and empathic relationship with my clients that shows unconditional positive regard. Meeting my clients where they are and meeting them at their pace in the therapeutic process is important in order to foster client empowerment in the therapeutic process.

I believe that childhood events impact our present and how we connect to the world around us. I believe that therapy is a great tool to begin your healing process and it’s never too late to start. I provide a welcoming and warm therapeutic environment in our sessions and I believe that a good connection and relationship with your therapist

is vital for the therapeutic work to be effective. I have 9 years of experience as a clinician. I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents and their parents. I have experience providing support and psychoeducation to parents when their child or children are receiving individual therapy and or have a mental health diagnosis. I am trained in different child-friendly interventions, including play therapy, sand tray therapy, expressive therapies and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).

I also have experience working with adults who are dealing with life transitions or experiencing relationship stressors and or other external life stressors. I am trained in treating symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADHD and PTSD. I use therapy modalities like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and I am also a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP).

In addition to individual and family therapy, I have experience providing group therapy and leading workshops on mental health in the community. Often times clients, come to therapy to learn tools on how to manage symptoms that are showing up in their life and therefore I provide a psychoeducational approach to therapy and teach clients the tools they need.

I look forward to working alongside you towards your healing journey.
