Katharine Sidelnik, LMSW

Katharine Sidelnik (she/they) is a holistic psychotherapist working primarily with adults and teens navigating a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma and life transitions. She believes spiritual exploration, ritual, symbolism, movement, bringing awareness to the natural world (in and around us), and play are all ways of connecting more deeply with self, spirit and authenticity that may show up in sessions. Katharine also integrates traditional talk therapy with somatic (body-based) methods to increase insight and help the body and nervous system to restore balance and build resilience.

Katharine believes in the inherent wisdom and embodied aliveness within each of us and offers a warm, non-judgmental, and empowering environment to explore strengths, obstacles, and new ways of being with oneself and others with increased expression and honoring your unique self.

She draws from trauma-informed and somatic modalities, ecospirituality, depth & transpersonal psychology, and anti-oppressive frameworks that empower individuals to (re)connect with themselves, community, and the world around us. With choice.

As a New York State Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist (ADS) and community herbalist with a harm reduction lens, Katharine is committed to health equity. She is currently studying The Discipline of Authentic Movement, a contemporary mystical practice centered in the development of embodied witness consciousness and the tremendous power of movement to access and heal experiences that may only be remembered in our bodies.
