Kelly Bracken

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Hornell, NY


I am a licensed clinical social worker dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care to support individuals and families. With extensive experience in trauma-informed practice, mental health counseling, and strengths-based intervention, I empower clients to navigate life’s challenges and build meaningful, sustainable change.

Grounded in a client-centered approach, I integrate modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based strategies, and solution-focused techniques to meet each client’s unique needs. I am committed to creating a safe, affirming, and collaborative therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, supported, and understood.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various settings, including clinical, community, and educational settings, helping diverse populations build resilience, enhance their well-being, and improve overall functioning. I am passionate about advocating for accessible mental health care, promoting emotional wellness, and guiding clients toward greater self-awareness and growth.

I hold a deep belief in the power of human connection, and bring warmth, professionalism, and unwavering dedication to every therapeutic relationship

Catherine Sawyer

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New York


Many people reaching out to me have been looking for the same thing: someone who can see the full picture. I am Catherine, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, and offer something rare: both medication management and therapy with a single provider. After 20 years in healthcare, including a decade as a family NP, I came to psychiatric care because I saw how inseparable mental and physical health are. My goal is that every appointment leaves you feeling heard, supported, and cared for.

As a warm, open-minded, and empowering therapist, I am dedicated to helping adults and families navigate life's most complex challenges. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling and bring a robust professional background working across diverse clinical settings, specializing in treating anxiety, sleep disorders, identity exploration, relationships, and bipolar disorders. In my practice, I frequently serve populations navigating cultural or ethnic issues, men’s issues, and individuals healing from trauma or substance abuse. On a personal note, my commitment to mental health stems from my own lived experiences navigating difficult life transitions, which gives me a genuine, human understanding of how intimidating it can be to take this first step toward healing.
