Hello! My name is Dr. Kathy Calabrese. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a Certified Neurofeedback Clinician and am trained in the Sarno-Sachs Pain Recovery Process
The information you will find on these web pages will support and encourage you on your journey to wellness, but before you begin, let me tell you a bit more about myself.
I was born and raised in Buffalo, NY. I am a proud alumae of Bennett High School, D’Youville College, and Buffalo State College where I earned a Masters degree in Special Education. In 1984, while working as an Associate professor of Special Education at D’Youville College, I completed my PhD in Counseling/Educational Psychology at The State University of New York at Buffalo (UB).
During my time at UB, I became deeply interested in Family Systems Theory. That interest led me to enroll in a post-doctoral program at the University of Rochester Medical School, Department. of Psychiatry. There I completed my clinical training as a Marriage and Family Therapist and shortly thereafter opened my private practice. Since that time, I have maintained a private practice as a NYS Licensed Marriage and Family therapist in Buffalo, New York City, Kingston, New York and Phoenicia, a small hamlet in the Catskill Mountains.
In 2007, while living in the Catskills, I had the good fortune to meet Dr. Stephen Larsen. At the time he had recently published his book, The Healing Power of Neurofeedback. Upon reading the book I became determined to learn more about this incredible technology so that I could offer my clients a non-pharmaceutical way to feel better.
The field of Neurofeedback is dynamic and ever-changing. That’s why, since 2007, I have continued to study and improve my clinical skills. and have achieved Neurofeedback clinician .certification from the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance.
In 2012, I decided to bring my private practice home to Buffalo and introduce Western New Yorkers to Neurofeedback and its great potential. Now more than 14 years later, I have enjoyed the privilege of working with hundreds of families, couples, individuals and children. Each therapeutic relationship has left an indelible imprint on my life and helped me to evolve into the person and therapist that I am today.
Again let me welcome you to my homepage. I look forward to sharing in your journey to wellness.
