Kate Brennan, MHC-LP — Staff Therapist
-
Meet Kate.
Kate Brennan (she/her) is a pre-licensed therapist who holds an advanced degree from NYU in Mental Health Counseling. Before becoming a therapist, she worked within the philanthropy, advocacy, and marketing fields. However, a long-held curiosity about human behavior and a desire to work more directly with people motivated her to shift her focus to counseling.
Integrating behavioral, psychodynamic, and relational-cultural approaches, Kate works to identify unhelpful, well-worn thought patterns causing current discomfort while also exploring past experiences that may influence present feelings. Her approach to therapy is collaborative, strengths-based, and solutions-focused, navigating challenges in lockstep with her clients.
Equal parts warm and direct, Kate is intentional about creating a therapeutic space free from judgment where her clients will be both supported and challenged on their path to living a healthier, more balanced life. She welcomes clients from all backgrounds and identities, and she is particularly interested in working with clients who are navigating issues around anxiety, depression, relationships, personal and professional motivation, and life transitions.
