Get to know more about Katie
New York State Mental Health Counselor (Limited Permit) Katie Grudens, MA, MHC-LP, is a master's level therapist and a valued member of the clinical team at Dr. Fallon's Practice. She earned her Master's in Mental Health Counseling from New York University. Katie also holds a Bachelor's degree from Ithaca College.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Katie takes an integrative approach with all clients because she strongly believes that there is no "one size fits all" method of therapy. Instead, Katie likes to get to know each client and build a strong relationship with them to best inform her therapeutic approach.
Typically, Katie pulls tools and techniques from various therapeutic modalities including internal family systems, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, strengths-based and client-centered approaches, while maintaining an empathetic, validating, and nonjudgmental stance. Katie believes therapy should be collaborative in nature and she is very flexible on the structure of care for each client, depending on what works for them.
Katie is an incredibly compassionate and caring therapist. Highly recommend!

As someone who has never done any sort of therapy, I really enjoyed speaking with Katherine! She was very understanding of my issues, listened to what I had to say with no judgement, and validated my feelings. I felt very comfortable speaking to her and felt that she really wanted to help me find ways to cope with my problems! I would definitely recommend to a friend and especially to those, like me, who are new to therapy!
