Dr. Kateryna Dukenski
Pennsylvania Licensed Psychologist in private practice in Media PA
“Becoming who we truly are requires the greatest amount of change”
Michael Meade
Greetings! I am Dr. Kateryna Dukenski (she/her), a licensed clinical psychologist, psychodynamic trauma focused psychotherapist, couples therapist, and family constellations facilitator with over twenty years of experience guiding individuals through their mental health and other life challenges. My passion lies in supporting people in their personal growth journeys so they can forge deeper connection with themselves, their families, nature and environment.
HOW I WORK
My approach to therapy is similar to the way I garden. The resilience of nature and the interconnected forces that impact our growth and development are my inspiration. I place my trust in the innate ability of the human mind to self-heal under the right conditions. Each person who seeks my support is met with reverence and openness as I strive to understand how my tools and experiences can empower them to unlock their potential for self-care. My focus remains steadfast on fostering a quality therapeutic connection so you can feel safe to take courage to be vulnerable as a step towards full acceptance and change.
As a therapist, I firmly believe in the transformative power of embracing our authentic selves, often catalyzed by finding a new creative response to old challenging relational dynamics, childhood wounds, or trauma. I help people with finding meaning in their struggles, open new perspectives, nurture freedom, curiosity and self-warmth. Just as the interplay of sunlight and soil conditions impacts plant growth, I seek to understand ways love flows and supports a person in their relationships. Unlocking your potential for nurturing yourself with love is the goal of the inner work I am inviting you to consider.

WHAT OTHES SAY ABOUT BEING IN THERAPY WITH ME
My work with Dr. Dukenski has created so much space for me to understand my past and how it shapes the person I am today. She has helped me take my feelings seriously and unpack my childhood trauma. When I first started with her, I was unable to allow myself to accept the severity of my past experience with my family, but she gave me tools for self compassion and care which were integral for me to allow myself to accept and reflect on that childhood trauma without blaming myself.
I have been working with Dr.Dukenski on and off for several years. I love her openness to trying different modalities, including everything from EMDR and traditional talk therapy, to creative role-play and constellations. She’s very perceptive and shares resources and insights from a broad range of disciplines and perspectives.
Thanks to our work together, I feel like I have made leaps and bounds in many areas of my life.
Thanks again for all your hard work with me. It has been life changing and as hard as things feel sometimes, it would be harder if I didn’t have a therapist I trusted. I’m feeling more myself the last couple months than I have in years a combination of our sessions and the work on self-compassion in between sessions. That’s a big relief.
I have been seeing Dr. Dukenski for over a year now, and I value our weekly sessions together. From the beginning, I felt comfortable openly sharing without judgement. Dr. Dukenski listens with kindness and acceptance. She helps me make connections from my past so I can process the present. Dr. Dukenski offers advice and guidance in a gentle and caring way that shows she is truly invested in helping me be the best version of myself.
