“Dr. Olesker was so professional and lovely. She is warm and inviting. I was very nervous to start therapy and open up to someone that I did not know. She made me feel very comfortable and at our consultation she explained her methods and reasonings behind them. I am excited to continue working with her!”

Getting to know Dr. Katherine Olesker
My style is warm and genuine. Through empathy and validation, I strive to offer a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere. My goal is to help you gain insight and practical tools to improve your quality of life. Providing support and understanding, along with coping strategies, helps to alleviate problematic thinking, behaviors, and symptoms.
I have experience helping people who struggle with depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance abuse, loss, trauma, relationship problems, sexual abuse, mood disorders, and psychotic symptoms.
As a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience, I have served diverse inpatient and outpatient populations with a wide range of diagnoses. I hold a PsyD in Psychology from Yeshiva University and a Master's in Psychology from the New School. My approach is flexible, individually tailored, and informed by psychodynamic therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Had good information and knowledge to help. Personally for me, I am used to a therapist listening while I talk and that’s what I prefer. This provider did most of the talking and I had to interrupt in order to get a word in during our session. May work for others but doesn’t work for me.

Dr. Olesker's therapeutic demeanor and humanistic approch helped me process my feelings and work through many emotional hardships. She really listened to me and was non-judgemental. The most important feeling for me during therapy it to feel safe and with Dr. Olesker I always felt safe, cared for, & that my issues mattered to her. I recommend anyone use her services.
