mckernan therapy & consultation

Catriana Pineiro

My name is Catriana, and I am a Master’s Level Clinician who works with children, adolescents, adults, and families in a warm, supportive, and collaborative environment. I believe that therapy is a place where you can feel genuinely heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life.

I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Counseling from Chestnut Hill College and hold a Master of Arts in Psychology from New York University, where I completed and published thesis research. I also received my Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences from Drexel University. My training and clinical experience have prepared me to support clients across a range of challenges while honoring each person’s unique story and cultural background.

My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and collaborative. I integrate evidence-based therapeutic modalities and tailor them to fit your needs. I strive to create a respectful, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences, build useful skills, and work toward lasting change.
