Kate Staikos, MHC-LP
Kate offers a steady, supportive space for people who want to understand themselves more deeply.
Kate works with adults navigating anxiety, relationship stress, life transitions, and the emotional complexity of motherhood and modern adulthood in general. Her work is especially helpful for individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns they don't fully understand, or disconnected from themselves and others.
Kate takes a thoughtful approach to psychotherapy, helping clients understand the internal patterns that shape how they feel, think, and relate. She integrates evidence-based treatment with Internal Family Systems: informed work, supporting clients in developing greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and clarity in their relationships. Her style is calm, attuned, and practical, creating space for both insight and meaningful change.
Much of Kate's work focuses on anxiety, self-esteem, relationship dynamics, dating, marriage, and emotional challenges that arise during periods of transition, including career shifts, parenthood, and changes in identity or family roles. She helps clients slow down, make sense of their inner experience, and respond to life with more confidence and steadiness rather than reactivity.
Kate works with adults seeking therapy in New York and provides Telehealth psychotherapy through Kofman Wellness. She is part of a carefully selected clinical team and is supervised by Yana Kofman (founder), sharing the therapeutic network established by the practice and ensuring high standards of care while honoring each client's individual needs.
