"Katheryne is super good at her job. I started therapy constantly dysregulated, agitated, and overwhelmed with small things in my life. I have felt supported in navigating my life and she’s taught me the perspective and tools I need to be successful."

—Noah
"kids. Dr. Puentes introduced us to parenting techniques that focus on positive reinforcement and emotional understanding. We’ve noticed a significant change in our children’s behavior and the overall atmosphere in our home. She helped us get on the same page as parents, which has made all the difference. Our family dynamic is much stronger now"

—Christian
"Dr. Katheryne Puentes is amazing! She is by far the best therapist I’ve ever had! She makes you feel comfortable and understood, and at the same time you always get guidance when you feel lost or stuck. Whenever I had concerns or needed any additional information, she’s always been very resourceful in finding the answers right a way!"
