Getting to know Kate Giampilis
Katie is a staff therapist at Sentient Psychotherapy, a female-owned, brick-and-mortar private practice group in Lower Manhattan. She holds an MSEd in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. John's University and earned her undergraduate degree in Psychology from The University of Tampa.
Working with Katie:
When you're constantly battling intrusive thoughts, carrying unresolved grief, or struggling to set boundaries in relationships, self-doubt and emotional overwhelm take over. We'll work together to unpack what's holding you back and build a path forward. You're not alone-and you don't have to figure it out by yourself.
My clients are high-achieving professionals and college students seeking relief from debilitating OCD, anxiety, grief, and depression. I use mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD to help you break free from rigid thought patterns and reconnect with what truly matters to you.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Therapy with me is practical and personalized—we focus on real tools and behavioral interventions that help you manage stress, calm your nervous system, and feel more in control.
As a queer-identified New Yorker, I also specialize in providing LGBTQ+ affirming care, emphasizing the importance of feeling safe and implicitly understood in therapy. No topic is off the table; I offer a space where we will explore whatever is on your mind without fear of judgment. Over time, my clients successfully implement therapeutic insights into actions that improve their quality of life.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I offer in-person therapy in our beautiful Lower Manhattan offices—because let’s face it, staring at a screen all day is exhausting. Instead of spending another hour online, why not sit face-to-face with someone who’s right here, ready to support you?
I have immediate availability and am ready to help you build psychological flexibility, develop healthier habits, and break free from unhelpful thought patterns that are holding you back. Together, we’ll create a path toward a more fulfilling, balanced life—one that truly feels like your own.

Don’t see your insurance?
It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
More information on payments and coverage
We are a full-service practice that caters to each individual client. It is important that we verify your insurance and fee information with you.
Due to the No Surprises Act, we will let you know up front your good faith estimate for therapy. We call, text and email you after you book on Zocdoc so as to discuss next steps in the booking process before your session. Please do not come to the office until you have heard from Katie and Sentient Psychotherapy.
