About
Carina A. Iati, PsyD
I am a licensed psychologist (Massachusetts) with 20 years of experience serving individuals with mental health struggles. I've been drawn to this work by a genuine belief that all people deserve, and are capable of having lives that include joy and purpose no matter the difficulties they have faced.
I completed my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Indiana State University, followed by internship at University of Massachusetts Medical School/ Worcester Recovery Center and Hospital. I continued training with a postdoctoral fellowship in psychosocial rehabilitation at Emory University School of Medicine before returning to Massachusetts to provide psychological care in public service mental health and juvenile justice.
​
Much of my work has emphasized recovery from painful experiences, and highlights the innate wisdom of the body. In addition to my training and clinical experience, I am a certified trauma sensitive yoga practitioner (TCTSY-F) and personal trainer (NASM-CPT), which has deepened my appreciation for the body's role in psychological wellness and has allowed me to include movement, breath and body-awareness as components of therapy.
Each person has unique needs in therapy. Let's discuss what healing could look like for you.

INTRODUCTORY MEETING
Begin by scheduling a free 15-minute phone call to discuss your hopes for services. This is an opportunity to ensure our collaboration would suit your needs. You will have an opportunity to share your concerns and ask questions about services.
ABOUT THERAPY
I offer services virtually, allowing you to create a therapy space that is most comfortable for you. You might choose to bring a pet, a weighted blanket or a cup of tea to session. Any private, comfortable space can become our therapy office.

We will work together to decide what therapy will look like for you, guided by your goals for treatment. My experience with various treatment modalities will allow us to develop an approach unique to your needs. In my work I regularly use components of: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Process Therapy (IPT), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Sensorimotor Therapy and Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY).
