Mrs Katina Saxton

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a certification in Perinatal Mental Health. EMDR trained.”

About Me

I support individuals navigating the unique emotional landscape of pregnancy, postpartum, and reproductive journeys. This time of immense change can bring overwhelming feelings or past experiences to the surface. Using EMDR, I help process difficult memories or anxieties, creating space for greater calm and confidence. This approach offers a supportive environment for those seeking to understand and manage complex emotions during this significant life stage.

Approach

Therapy here blends steady pacing with gentle curiosity to notice how past experiences influence feelings around pregnancy, postpartum, and fertility. I meet with people in Clifton Park or via secure video, keeping sessions focused and flexible to fit busy schedules. Sessions combine gentle memory-processing techniques, somatic grounding, and collaborative goal-setting; between sessions I offer short practical experiments to test new coping strategies. This way of working tends to help adults and couples seeking clearer confidence in parenting, reproductive choices, or grieving changes.
