Getting to know Kathryn Sedgwick

Hello! I am Kathryn Sedgwick, LCSW (she/her), a 72-year-old trans female psychotherapist practicing since 2015. I started my telehealth practice for clients in New York and New Jersey in 2023. After a 30-year career in publishing, which ended in the Great Recession, I enrolled at the NYU/Silver School of Social Work at age 60, earning an MSW with a 3.9 GPA in May 2015. My practice is open to all, but in light of my own lifetime struggles with gender dysphoria and body dysmorphia, I feel strongly called to serve members of the trans and non-binary communities. I use a psychodynamic approach that incorporates elements of Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral therapy. I am a friendly, approachable therapist who specializes in putting clients at ease by offering a safe, supportive, relaxed environment where we can do our best work together. My clients typically deal with issues of anxiety, depression, relationships, sexuality, and identity. I offer them insight borne of my personal experience, combined with a keen understanding of the social, political, and ecological contexts in which we all exist.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I emphasize skill-building as a necessary precursor to personal growth, something I find many clients have never had the opportunity to practice.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our focus will be on building a healing relationship utilizing a psychodynamic approach that incorporates elements of Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, as well as a deep empathy for your pain and personal struggle. In doing so, we will connect your past to the present while charting a course to your future — a future that you, yourself, wish to see.
