About Kate

Therapy that meets you where you are

Kate Vandeveld is a licensed clinical social worker serving clients via telehealth in New York. She specializes in trauma-informed, person-centered individual therapy.

Her goal is to meet you exactly where you are — to help you understand the experiences and influences that brought you there, and to work with you on the tools to get where you want to go. Meaningful change takes compassion and time. Kate brings both.

She holds a bachelor's from Wellesley College and a master's in Advanced Clinical Practice in Social Work from Columbia University. She spent nearly a decade as a therapist, advocate, mitigation specialist, and program coordinator at a criminal justice organization in New York City before moving to private practice.

How we work

Evidence-based.
Person-first.
Always.

Kate draws from a carefully integrated toolkit — methods grounded in research and adapted to fit you, not the other way around. No single approach works for everyone, and she is trained across multiple modalities so the work stays genuinely responsive.

The goal is never to fit you into a framework. It is to find the one that helps you move.

Client-Centered Therapy You set the pace. Kate's role is to reflect, challenge, and support — never to prescribe.
Motivational Interviewing A collaborative approach to building your own motivation for change, without pressure or judgment.
Somatic Experiencing & Sensorimotor Therapy Body-based work that addresses how trauma lives in the nervous system, not just the mind.
Strength-Based Therapy Rooted in what you already carry — your resilience, your resources, your capacity to heal.
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy A structured, evidence-based method for processing traumatic experiences and reshaping the thoughts they leave behind.
