Katherine Prudente, MA, RDT, LCAT is a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT)  specializing in drama therapy and psychotherapy. Katherine believes that the creative process assists in working through problems by allowing access to unclear thoughts and feelings. Katherine utilizes traditional 'talk' therapy while allowing clients the opportunity to explore issues through creative writing, storytelling and role playing if desired. By working eclectically, she is able to help her clients become their best selves, meeting their specific needs.

Katherine maintains a private practice in New York City specializing in individual psychotherapy for adolescents and adults. Her clients come from all walks of life differing in education, class, sexual orientation, and ethnicity/race. Katherine's focus is on anxiety and depression, surviving childhood trauma, navigating life transitions, relationship concerns, and assimilation/acculturation of racial minorities, especially with Asian Americans. 

In addition to her private practice, for 10 years Katherine was a Program Manager at Hallways, a program dedicated to preventing high-risk behaviors through social-emotional learning in high achieving independent schools. She has worked in over 30 independent schools throughout the New York City Tri-State area.
