Catarina Bongiorni, LMHC PMHNP-BC
Hi there! I'm Cat!
My priority has always been to provide the most personalized psychiatric care to children, teens and young adults, emphasizing their own strengths, passions and interests as tools to help them achieve their goals. In practice, I take a strengths based approach to clinical concerns, taking into account the whole individual within a systems framework. The combination of therapy and medication (when clinically appropriate) can be some of the most effective treatments. This is just one of the many reasons why I provide both services to my clients.

My Journey
A little more about me:
I started out in the world of music, pursuing an oboe performance & music education degree. Through this process, I discovered the power and great influence our mental health has on our happiness, social connections and professional goals. I returned to school to pursue being a therapist. While working with children and their families after graduate school, I discovered the need for whole person centered medication management care. Once again, I revisited the classroom to obtain my nursing degree. These chapters in my career has placed me at the forefront of providing comprehensive psychiatric care.
