Kevin Gerety (K.C.) has a warm, compassionate, non-judgmental style of working with clients of all ages.  He relates particularly well with younger clients and is sought after for his capacity to connect with teens and young adults.  He was first introduced into the field when he himself was a young adult working as a behavioral technician at a substance use treatment facility in Los Angeles.

Since then, KC has worked in several mental health settings including Pascack Mental Health Center.
