Meet Katie

Katie Crank, LMSW

Hi, I'm Katie (she/they) and I'm a licensed psychotherapist.

My approach is tailored to each individual, and often draws on Internal Family Systems, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, evidence-based treatments for eating disorders, and somatic approaches to connecting the mind and body. Whether you are working to overcome anxiety, recover from burnout or depression, heal your relationship with food and body, process grief, or navigate a life transition, I believe therapy is a critical part of creating a system of support during times of intensity or distress. I work with clients to create an affirming, warm, curious, and liberatory environment to explore vulnerable issues.

I have specialized training in perinatal mental health, along with perinatal grief and loss. I strongly believe in supporting parents in building and growing strong connections with their kiddos, and I believe our relationships with our bodies and with eating is one significant part of building or repairing and nurturing that strong connection.

I previously spent 12 years working as a nonprofit consultant, leading systems change and equity work in local criminal justice systems across the country. Because of this background, I also work to help clients connect their personal struggles with the larger systems at play in our society and our daily lives.

I am passionate about working with folks across the life-span, particularly those in the middle-aged years, and consider myself to be a deeply inclusive therapist. I am committed to creating affirming spaces for those who are queer, trans, gender non-conforming, neurodivergent, disabled, or have physical differences and who face challenges and systemic oppression because of their identities.

I am a New York State Licensed Master Social Worker and New Jersey Licensed Social Worker. I graduated from Washington University-St. Louis with a dual MSW and JD. I'm also a certified Good Inside Parent Coach, and enjoy working with parents to de-shame the challenges of modern parenthood.

Fees: $250/session, Limited sliding scale slots currently available
