I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) trained in EMDR, Internal family systems therapy (IFS), as well as somatic experiencing and mindfulness based stress reduction. I am dedicated to a curious and explorative approach in order to provide a space that allows for deep and transformative change in areas that a client may feel stuck in unwanted behavioral patterns and or maladaptive core beliefs. I utilize specific therapy models such as EMDR and IFS to facilitate this process in a structured and safe container.

Katherine Wheeler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and TBRI® Practitioner dedicated to helping children, families, and caregivers heal, connect, and grow. She earned her Master of Social Work from the University of New England and brings a compassionate, neuroscience-informed approach to her work with clients.
Rooted in the belief that every individual is a treasure, Katherine approaches each person and family with curiosity, respect, and care. Her work centers on the idea that connection creates change — helping clients understand how trauma, stress, and relationship patterns shape their stories, and guiding them toward safety, trust, and regulation.
Her style is relational, grounded, and intentional, blending evidence-based interventions with genuine warmth and presence. At Connected Treasures, Katherine partners with families to interrupt cycles of intergenerational trauma, strengthen attachment, and create spaces where both children and adults can thrive.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, burnt out, or simply not like yourself, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Whether life feels heavy right now or you’ve been carrying the same struggles for years, this is the place to set some of that down.
I follow the concept that therapy can heal emotional pain, improve relationships and increase self-understanding. Beginning therapy can often be intimidating, but can make a big difference in your ability to cope with challenges or make sense of what has happened so you can gather the skills to move forward. I am open to addressing unresolved or present barriers in your life, guide and help you make sense out of your own thoughts ideas and conflicts (situational).
My therapeutic approach is collaborative in nature, working with patients through their journey.I strive to facilitate optimal social-emotional-behavioral health and functioning for each person and encourage growth every step of the way. I believe that emotional growth and change is possible and can be achieved.
Hi, I’m Yitzchok Wagshul. One day, my young grandson asked me what kind of doctor I am. I’m a clinical psychologist, so I replied, “I’m the kind of doctor who helps sad people feel happy.” He looked at me and said, “Zaidy,” (that’s “Grandpa” in Yiddish) "that’s not being a doctor, that’s just being nice!” That’s a cute story, but I want to tell you something: the better part of therapy is “being nice.” I know a lot of psychology. But if I didn’t respect each person I work with, if I didn’t view them with complete acceptance and unconditional positive regard, all of that would be worthless, because no one would listen to me.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in New York
Searching for therapists in New York means choosing from a wide range of licensed professionals across urban, suburban, and rural areas. Your options may vary depending on where you live, what kind of support you want, and whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions. If you’re looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions, start by looking for a therapist whose listed specialties match your needs. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Location and schedule matter, too. A therapist in New York City may offer different appointment options than one in Buffalo, Albany, or the Hudson Valley, and virtual therapy can help broaden your search beyond nearby offices. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others prefer the flexibility of virtual appointments from home. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer free phone consultations, and how they describe their session style. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how a therapist communicates, what they focus on, and whether their approach fits what you’re looking for.
The cost of mental health care in New York varies, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps make that process easier by showing therapists who are accepting new patients, verifying your insurance, and estimating your out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage based on your location and specific plan. Browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
