Our Team

Kathryn (Kate) Lappin, LCSW

Whether we realize it or not, our past experiences shape how we connect with others and how we see ourselves. At times, these deep-seated patterns can contribute to anxiety, depression, or a sense of emotional paralysis. These feelings deserve more than words; they need to be felt, understood, and processed within the safety of a meaningful relationship. My role is to provide that secure space where transformation can happen. 

My practice is grounded in relational and psychodynamic therapy. Together, we will explore the emotional patterns you’ve developed and the roles you’ve learned to play in order to survive or belong. The goal is to bring greater awareness to these patterns and integrate that insight into your daily life, supporting a deeper sense of self-understanding, purpose, and authenticity.

Growth can bring difficult thoughts and emotions to the surface, but you won’t have to face them alone. My approach is non-judgmental, curious, and interactive. I believe growth is not about chasing perfection, but about building a stronger foundation for how you move through the world. 

While I cannot offer an immediate “fix,” I am committed to helping you navigate what truly matters to you, supporting you in expressing your needs and prioritizing your well-being. I enjoy working with New Yorkers from all walks of life as you explore identities, beliefs, and values within the complexity of being human.
