Professional statement

Letizia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker working mostly remotely in New York, New Jersey and Florida to help clients navigate the impacts of past trauma. She sees individuals from a range of ethnic, racial, and religious backgrounds as well as gender identities. She also specializes in challenges around acculturation and children of immigrants. She has helped individuals explore situations where they experience a "maybe it's me" phenomena. This often arises with individuals coping with complex PTSD, narcissistic abuse, upward mobility, fitting into a mainstream environment, etc. She also helps people cope with spiritual crisis and those integrating the effects of psychedelic experiences into their lives.

Letizia uses mind-body techniques in addition to talk therapy to promote trauma recovery. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy are powerful to aid in unblocking and releasing painful memories and manage triggers. When appropriate, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy can enhance these treatments.

Letizia defines trauma broadly and many of the clients she works with do not realize that what they've been through qualifies as traumatic. Letizia treads gently, providing education on trauma and helping her clients understand that it can be held in the body and exposed through emotional reactions.

Letizia graduated with her Master’s in Social Work from Columbia University. Her postgraduate training includes coursework in Eye Movement Desensitizatin and Reprocessing, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Traumatic Stress Studies, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). In June 2024, became certified in Psychedelic-Assisted Therpy via the Integrative Psychiatry Institute and has already completed coursework in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy from Journey Clinical and Fluence. Her practice is mostly remote and in-person for Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy at an Upper East Side (NY, NY 10128) office. Please inquire about fees depending on service and her sliding scale.


Message to clients

    In order to provide services to people from varied income levels, I offer fee options when possible. Fees for EMDR can vary depending on duration and frequency. KAP sessions accompanied by KAP integration sessions can be part of a package agreement. Please inquire about fee options and sliding scale fees. Many insurance companies provide reimbursement for those seeing non-participating (out-of-network) providers. I provide "superbills" for clients seeking reimbursement when I am out-of-network with their insurance. Please ask!
