Katherine Rapp, LCSW — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Katherine!

Are you feeling stuck, powerless, or uncertain? You are not alone. I will work with you to find your inner strength and power, as you gain more insight and control over your current situation and yourself. My goal is to help you feel more empowered, confident, and self-assured as you navigate your current situation and future challenges.

My focus

Are you struggling with new transition, medical trauma, and are you feeling overwhelmed, and anxious? I work with individuals struggling with transitions, grief, medical trauma, and autoimmune diseases. I will work with you to identify and use your strengths to develop client specific tools and coping strategies to overcome adversity.

My approach

I will join you on a therapeutic journey, first we will work to establish goals and identify strengths. Then I will work with you using CBT and ACT as we work to identify negative thought patterns, and dismantle them using your own voice. Together, will find self-compassion and acceptance, while also introducing various mindfulness techniques.

My communication style

I strive to make my clients feel like they are being listened to and are the most important person in the room. I will provide an open ear as I actively listen. I will engage with you as a partner, meeting you with compassion and empathy every step of the way.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always felt that everyone has inner strength and power to be who they want to be. Unfortunately, due to circumstances out of our control, often times it is hard to find our way through. I have seen the positive impact of having a true advocate in your corner, as a driving force to helping you seeing your own way through adversity.

My goals for you

I will meet you where you are in every session. Together, we will identify short-term and long-term goals based on what you want to work on, then we will work together to identify opportunities for you to make strides towards those goals. Sometimes, long-term goals will be broken down into smaller goals. We will celebrate every win together!

Our first session

I will follow your lead on the first session, as we get to know each other. Together, we will explore what brings you to therapy, what your goals are, and what your strengths are. Therapy is a process that starts with developing a healthy, trusting, therapeutic relationship. We will start building that therapeutic relationship on the first day.
