Roots
Hello and welcome! My name is Katherine Tineo-Komatsu, and I’m a licensed clinical social worker, registered yoga teacher, trainer, consultant, lecturer, supervisor, writer, advocate, and radical intuitive healer. I started in the field of social work over 10 years ago. In this time, I’ve worked with adults, older adults, young people, young children, families, and groups. I developed my skill-set while working in non-profits, health care agencies, and educational settings.
I attended Brown University and graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in Africana Studies. I then attended Columbia University and graduated with a master of science degree in Social Work. I completed a certificate program at The New School in Integrative Harm Reduction Psychotherapy. I also completed a 200-hr certificate program with Breathe for Change in teaching yoga and social emotional learning to educators and students.
In my spare time, I enjoy learning about my relationship and connection to earth and the universe through alternative philosophies. I also enjoy building community connections and learning how to have more compassion, love, and acceptance for others and myself. I find joy in exploring ways of dismantling systems of oppression that impact how we are in relationship with ourselves and each other. I was born in the Dominican Republic and raised in New York City. I currently live in NYC with my partner and our two daughters.
Client Testimonials

-Training Participant
We have worked with several organizations, including the Department of Health & Mental Hygiene; the Museum of Modern Art; the Red Balloon Learning Center, a nursery school in Harlem; Mount Sinai Health Systems; and New York Presbyterian.
