Katharine Wenocur

Katharine Wenocur is a dedicated clinical social worker and therapist with extensive experience in working with children and adolescents. She understands that young individuals often struggle to articulate their feelings, communicating instead through their behavior and play. When a child exhibits challenging behavior, it may be a manifestation of deeper emotional struggles that need to be addressed. Katharine is committed to collaborating with both children and their parents to discover effective, practical solutions that promote healing and understanding in their relationships. As a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor (RPT-S) and Certified Animal Assisted Play Therapist (CAAPT), she harnesses the healing power of play in her approach to therapy. With a foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-focused therapy, Katharine effectively supports children and families overcoming trauma, grief, life transitions, and emotional regulation issues. Her therapy sessions often include her beloved canine co-therapists, Winston and Tally, who are both Approved Animal Assisted Play Therapy Dogs. The playful and supportive presence of these dogs has proven to greatly benefit clients, creating a nurturing environment for therapeutic exploration.
