Professional Bio

Hi, I’m Kelly Warringer. Some people come to therapy having never really known who they are underneath everything they’ve had to be for everyone else. Others knew once and lost the thread somewhere along the way. Either way, helping you find your way back to yourself is the work I care most about.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York, and I’ve spent years working with adolescents and adults across a range of settings. Much of my work centers on trauma, codependency, grief, life transitions, women’s issues, depression, and anxiety. I have specialized training in Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD, and I also draw on ego supportive, CBT, and DBT informed approaches. Which of those we lean on depends entirely on you, because there’s no single right method, only the one that fits the person sitting across from me.

What I can promise is a space where you aren’t judged and aren’t rushed. You set the pace. I think of therapy less as something that gets done to you and more as something we build together, and when there’s real openness and trust in the room, it can shift things in ways that are hard to imagine at the start. My hope is that you walk out understanding yourself more clearly than when you walked in.

When I’m not with clients, I’m probably at a concert or trying to make my friends and family laugh. Music is a huge part of my life and I’ll go just about anywhere in the tri-state area for a good live show. I also draw, paint, make collages, and lose track of time in record stores.

Don’t make yourself small for anyone. No one is allowed to dim your light.
