Karina Le, LMSW (they/them), is a therapist who is passionate about walking alongside clients as they discover (or rediscover) their voice, reclaim their space, and reimagine what it means to live authentically. With a clinical foundation rooted in trauma-informed care, Karina specializes in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, neurodivergent clients, people of color, and those navigating complex family dynamics or cultural transitions.
Karina earned their Master of Social Work from Nazareth and holds a Bachelor of Science from Rochester Institute of Technology. Their clinical experience spans individual and group therapy over the past few years, including inpatient adolescent mental health care and work focused on CBT, DBT, identity development, and support for BIPOC students. They also bring thoughtful insight from time spent shadowing case management in community mental health settings.
What grounds Karina’s work is a deep understanding of what it means to perform for others at the expense of self, and the transformative power of therapy to unlearn those patterns. They are especially passionate about working with clients in transition: young adults entering new chapters, adults shifting paths, and anyone beginning to ask, “Who am I, really?” Their approach is curious, nonjudgmental, and always rooted in the belief that therapy can be a radical act of self-love
