Katie Sclafani

I provide clinical support to individuals navigating significant medical events across the lifespan, addressing the complex emotional and psychosocial challenges that accompany chronic illness, and incorporating my vast knowledge of the complex medical system to provide concrete care management support as well. I have particular experience helping those navigating organ transplantation as well as palliative care, caregiver support, grief, loss, and bereavement.

My practice is grounded in a humanistic and empathetic approach, informed by frameworks such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I’m certified in Clinical Transplant Social Work, as well as Palliative Care.

I use evidence-based approaches to support integration of illness into identity—so that it becomes part of your story, but does not define you. I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and individualized therapeutic environment that fosters resilience and reduces feelings of isolation.
