Virtual Perinatal Therapy in New York
Compassionate perinatal and maternal mental health therapy in New York to guide you through fertility challenges, pregnancy, loss, postpartum depression, and the postpartum transition.
Hi, I’m Katie
Warm and direct, I create a comfortable space for you to be honest about who you are, how you’re struggling, and how you want to change. After learning about your values and goals, I help you make progress in therapy through a combination of insight and action. Insight is the aha moment. Connecting the dots between your past and your present, getting to know your patterns of behavior, articulating core beliefs, and creating new ways of thinking. For this part of therapy, I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS) and psychodynamic training.
Action is about making incremental change in your life. I keep our focus on your goals with methods from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness-based therapy.
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a decade of experience seeing New Yorkers through life transitions. With a specialty in perinatal mental health, I can help you find yourself in a season of unprecedented change.
With compassion, curiosity, and accountability, I can help you grow.
