"I spent the majority of my life, angry and self-centered, leading to the end of my engagement and the loss of many friends. This led to depression, anxiety and thoughts of suicide.
Since I started treatment with Katie, I have grown to develop healthy relationships, based in trust, vulnerability, and mutual respect with my friends, family, and my partner. Moreover, I have learned how to set boundaries and respectfully enforce them.
Communicating with others about my feelings, or listening to the feelings of others, holding space for them and empathizing has never been easier. Honestly, my communication has never been better, whether it be in the context of business, friendship, or romantic relationships.
I am off of antidepressants and anti-anxiety medication for the first time in 21 years! I am proud to say that, in and outside of my friend group, I have become a beacon of hope. An example that with hard work and dedication, you can overcome your mental health struggles.
None of this would've been possible without Katie. My life has been forever changed for the better as a result of being under her care.
I feel so lucky because I have had access to the Ritz Carlton for mental health. I could not recommend Katie more!" - Male, Age 30+
Testimonials**
“I can't say enough good things about Katie Pancione and her therapy practice. I came to her at a critical point in my life (and during the pandemic) when I had been years out of therapy and really needed a safe space and a therapeutic connection. In the first session, I felt very comfortable opening up to Katie, and over the next few sessions, she did a great job helping build trust and getting to the root of many of my issues in a compassionate way. Katie is extremely empathetic and always makes sure the session is focused on you and your needs. In addition to that, as a younger millennial woman, I personally have found it so helpful to have my therapist be in my age range, something I had never had before but I think makes a huge difference.” - Age 30
“Katie has been tremendously helpful for me in my self-growth journey. She's always there to listen, easy to talk to, and never makes me feel judged. Katie is really good at walking you through the issue and guiding you to come to conclusions yourself, as opposed to just telling you what you should do or how you should view things. Katie always has wonderful resource recommendations, like podcasts, work books, etc. that are nice to (optionally) look into in between sessions. I would liken our sessions to feeling like I'm talking with an older sister or friend, as opposed to an intimidating authoritative figure. I've really appreciated how Katie has tailored our therapy sessions to the specific style of therapy I need and what works for me. Over time she's learned how to best approach a topic for me, and as a result so have I! Genuinely, without Katie's help and professional expertise, I would not have improved my mindset, self-image, and overall life over the past year and a half.” - Female, 27
“Katie was recommended to me through a friend in the mental health field in regards to grief counseling. I went into our first session thinking we'd focus on the grief specifically, but Katie has helped me uncover past trauma I thought I had worked through, and our appointments have led me to a number of profound personal epiphanies I was not expecting, which is helpful in all aspects of my life. She has a way of re-framing my thoughts/feelings that helps me shift my perspective and break out of old thought-patterns. I appreciate the help she's given me thus far and am looking forward to continuing our work together so I can become the best version of myself for myself and my loved ones.”
“I came across Katie's profile during a search for a new therapist. I'd reached a point where I felt my past was holding me back in my personal and professional lives. I wanted to process it with a professional so I could get unstuck. What intrigued me with Katie's profile was her experience as a therapist and climbing the corporate ladder. I felt that experience would enable Katie to understand some of the issues I face in my professional life as much as my personal life. From the get go, I could tell Katie has a huge focus on service and understanding her clients. I appreciated her offer for a free 20 minute consult to determine if she was the right therapist for me before any commitment was made. Katie's ability to meet virtually is a huge plus as I can easily fit my sessions into my busy life. Katie is empathetic, fosters a safe space during sessions, and keeps me honest. After a year of working with Katie, I can see huge improvements in my emotional health. I've entered 2023 with less anxiety and fears but more importantly I now have better tools to deal with them when they arise.” - Age 35-40
