Kelly Ducato, LCSW

Hello, I’m Kelly! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been practicing for 13 years. I specialize in working with young children and their families. I have a strong passion for helping kids grow emotionally and helping families feel more connected and supported. I am a certified therapist and within-agency trainer in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), where we focus on supporting caregivers in building stronger, more positive relationships with their children while addressing challenging behaviors.

 

I believe that lasting change happens when the whole family is involved, therefore I work closely with both children and caregivers to improve communication and strengthen family dynamics. I am also trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE).

 

I have 18 years of experience in various capacities supporting children with anxiety, depression, trauma, and oppositional behaviors, always meeting families where they are with warmth and understanding. I am committed to creating a safe, welcoming space where kids and families can feel heard, build skills, and grow together.

I currently accept the following insurances and am working on additional ones as well:

Highmark/Blue Cross Blue Shield

Aetna

Univera

 

Private Payment plans can be discussed.

 

I offer sessions both in person and via telehealth (please contact your insurance company to ensure telehealth services are covered).
