“I’ve been seeing Kate for a little over a year and she has been really helpful as I’ve navigated through grief, processing trauma, relationship and family issues, and symptoms of anxiety/ panic. I appreciate how inquisitive she is during our sessions because it has helped me open up about topics I’ve had a hard time verbalizing with other therapists. Not only is she a great listener, but she is skilled at driving the conversation forward and empowering you to move toward progress. She has also followed up from some of our sessions with materials and exercises that’s I’ve found extremely helpful. Overall, she is a very effective, professional, and engaged therapist and I am happy to say my ability to handle my own challenges has improved significantly under her care! ”

Getting to know Kaitlin Staikos
I’m a New York City–based therapist working with professionals, students, and creatives who want to feel more connected—to themselves, their work, and the people they care about.
If you’re navigating stress, anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, ADHD, or a life transition, therapy can be a valuable space to slow down and realign. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in both insight and practical tools. I meet you where you are, offering support that’s thoughtful, nonjudgmental, and uniquely tailored to your goals.
Clients often tell me they feel safe and truly seen in our work together. My aim is to help you better understand your patterns, reconnect with your strengths, and move through challenges with clarity and self-compassion.
I earned my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Hunter College and am currently practicing under supervision at Kofman Mental Health Counseling.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Clients often describe me as calm, present, and easy to talk to. You don’t have to come in with everything figured out—therapy is a space where we can explore what’s going on at your pace, without pressure or judgment.
I view you as the expert on your life. My role is to listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and offer support and strategies that help you feel more grounded and empowered. I work well with individuals who are reflective, curious, and motivated to make meaningful change—even if they’re not quite sure where to start.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our first session will be a chance to get to know one another. I’ll ask some questions about what brings you to therapy, what you’d like support with, and what’s been going on in your world lately. We’ll also talk about your goals and hopes for the process.
As we continue, our sessions might include reflection, skill-building, and identifying patterns that no longer serve you. My work integrates evidence-based approaches like CBT, mindfulness, and relational therapy, always adapted to your unique needs.
Whether we’re exploring the root of an issue or working on a practical strategy to reduce stress or improve communication, my goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and more connected to yourself.
