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.
