Kristy Paz, LPC-A, MHC-LP
Bilingual Therapist (Spanish and English)
OFFICE LOCATION : CONNECTICUT + NEW YORK
As a counselor who strives to be multi-culturally competent, I am constantly learning. Across my life, I have worked with different community-based organizations to help children, adolescents and families meet their mental wellness goals. My goal is to develop a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients and to help them feel seen, heard, and understood.
In my previous positions, I have worked with the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, BronxWorks, and the Bronx Public School System to provide evidenced-base programming to children, families, and the community at-large. Over the last seven years, my work has been focused on children, adolescents, and families. Through collaboration, I’ve worked alongside my clients to improve their mental wellness via counseling, education and advocacy.
My approach to care is person centered and solution focused. I also draw from different cognitive therapies to support my clients and move them beyond their mental health conditions and situations.
I received my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Hunter College. I look forward to supporting you on your mental health journey. Get in touch!
