Enclara Social Worker Katherine Peterson, LMSW, began her social work career at Lenox Hill Hospital in NYC as a Medical Social Worker.  Kate found herself drawn to working with the elderly and their families; but it wasn’t until she volunteered at a local hospice that she really found her calling. She became a Hospice Social Worker in the early 90’s and found it was her ‘soul’ work.

Kate has studied Jungian psychology, Gestalt psychology and has a certificate in Clinical Training in Mind Body Healing Therapies under Ron Alexander PhD, founder of OpenMind. 

In addition to her background in Bereavement, Stress Management and Coping Skills Facilitation, Kate has also been the Director of Social Work for a National Home Care Agency, Director of a Traumatic Brain Injury Program and is a Certified Legal Guardian.

She lives in Long Island New York with her Chihuahua who is ever patient and kind.
