Kristen Cordero, MSW

Kristen Cordero, MSW

Psychotherapist
541 Bay Ridge Pkwy, Brooklyn, NY
I became a therapist because, from a young age, I knew what it was like to feel unsafe, unseen, and emotionally overwhelmed. As a teenager, I promised myself I’d help others feel what I needed most: safety, love, and a sense of worth. That promise shaped the early part of my career, where I spent eight years working with children and young people around the world, many impacted by migration, violence, and climate change. While I was advocating for human rights on global stages, internally I was struggling with burnout, anxiety, grief, and a chronic illness—all signs I had yet to fully face my own pain and healing. My personal healing journey led me to mind-body modalities like somatic therapy, embodiment, and expressive arts. These approaches helped me reconnect with myself and begin living from a place of truth, rather than societal or familial expectations.

Getting to know Kristen Cordero

I became a therapist because, from a young age, I knew what it was like to feel unsafe, unseen, and emotionally overwhelmed. As a teenager, I promised myself I’d help others feel what I needed most: safety, love, and a sense of worth. That promise shaped the early part of my career, where I spent eight years working with children and young people around the world, many impacted by migration, violence, and climate change. While I was advocating for human rights on global stages, internally I was struggling with burnout, anxiety, grief, and a chronic illness—all signs I had yet to fully face my own pain and healing. My personal healing journey led me to mind-body modalities like somatic therapy, embodiment, and expressive arts. These approaches helped me reconnect with myself and begin living from a place of truth, rather than societal or familial expectations.

What should a new client know about working with you?

In my sessions with clients, I use somatic parts work, mindfulness, art, and a trauma-informed, compassionate presence to support your unique path to healing. I especially love working with women who are ready to release societal expectations, process grief, heal childhood wounds, and find peace in the midst of anxiety or depression. I also work with adolescents to build emotional resilience, express feelings, strengthen self-esteem, and rediscover joy.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

After working together, clients often share that they feel lighter, more hopeful, and more aligned with their truth. They’re setting boundaries, coping better, and finding joy again. I’ve been told my calm, warm, and non-judgmental presence helps them feel deeply seen and supported. If something inside you feels ready, I’d be honored to walk alongside you or your child on your healing journey.
