Hello I am Dr. Constantina Kass,

‍

I am a licensed psychologist and coach with over 25 years of experience working with children, teens, university students, and parents.  I am currently living in Bucharest, Romania and am originally from Chicago, Illinois. I have a Ph.D in School Psychology from Loyola University.

‍

My professional goal is to work with clients to identify gaps in their skill sets, develop and train them in coping strategies designed to increase their prospects for success. Over my years of work as a psychologist in the school system–I was also trained as a teacher–and the private sector, I gained considerable expertise in psycho-educational evaluations, school observation, and consultations with students and their parents.  In the process, I have developed a keen awareness of the factors that contribute to underachievement, including social-emotional, behavioral and academic issues, and learning difficulties including anxiety and depression.

‍

I specialize in using a Cognitive Behavioral approach. I place high importance on understanding and helping clients find a path to a prosperous and meaningful life based on respecting the client’s values, beliefs and aspirations. 

My dissertation research in Greece, at an international school with an International Baccalaureate (IB) Honors Program, informs my approach to counseling and coaching international students. 

‍

Moreover, my personal experience as an expatriate in Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Romania and raising third culture kids (TCK) provides me with a source of continual, additional insights that have proven useful to help other expats live their best lives abroad.

I am American and speak English
