Kat Vollono, LCSW (NY, FL, CT)

Client Testimonials

“My husband and I worked with Kat in couples therapy for one year, during which time we navigated many life changes together: quarantining together during COVID, getting married, losing a family member, and becoming dog parents.

I can definitively say that none of those major life changes would have been possible to navigate as well without Kat's unconditional support and steady ear. She helped us understand our different attachment styles and helped us better repair during inevitable conflicts that arose.

She also encouraged us when times got tough and helped us normalize difficulties we faced as a natural part of life's journey. I am truly grateful for Kat and her warmth/wisdom.”

“I understand myself and my patterns so much better than I did before, which is so helpful in seeing them with some more grounded objectivity instead of getting totally swept up and stuck.

I have deeper compassion and patience for myself and for my family and friends around me.

I feel overall more grounded in my day to day. In my career I don't feel consumed by this all-consuming clinging feeling that I used to feel.

It also feels easier to clue into what I actually need and to ask for it. I'm much better at communicating my needs and boundaries. I feel soooo much less shame talking about and admitting to myself the truths of my internal world and experiences/struggles.

Also, I am proudly out with my queerness to myself and others, and I feel that the safe space of therapy with you was absolutely essential in exploring that part of myself and slowly, bit by bit, letting myself stand in that. I came to you scared of my queerness and slowly, through the safe space, ended our time together out and proud. Of course, there’s always more to discover about that but I'm very grateful for that. Also, because I felt how helpful therapy with you was and how different I feel being in therapy versus not being in therapy, I know how important it is for me to continue to take care of myself in this way.” L.M.

“What I'm taking away is being about what made me not feel deserving of money and it actually came down to these things about presence and about connection. 

It's really comes down to this place of being worthy of presence, being worthy of connection, being worthy of attention, and all that is playing out in my relationship with money. 

I was able to have acknowledgement of what that pain is, and being able to be present with it and deal with it in a healthy way. “ S.L.
