Katherine Berko, LCSW – psychodynamic therapist in New York

Hi, I’m Katherine and I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m a licensed virtual therapist in New York (LCSW), offering online therapy for adults and couples located throughout New York City and New York State. As a therapist and writer, I’m inspired to help you take hold of your narrative — understanding where you’ve come from, how the past lives on in your present, and where you’d like to go.

I’ve been humbled and continually astounded by the ways therapy can change your life, including: 

•Deepening your capacity for love and trust 

•Cultivating closer, more secure relationships

•Easing depression, anxiety, and shame  

•Strengthening your self-esteem

•Increasing tolerance for life’s ups and downs 

•Allowing a truer, more authentic self to emerge

Therapy is a collaborative, relational process between you and me. You speak, and I listen attentively and without judgment — not only to what you say, but to what may be just beneath the surface of your words. Together, we bring awareness to the patterns, fears, and longings that may be getting in the way of a more fulfilling life. 

Accepting yourself as you are is the first step toward meaningful change — and therapy can help you take that step.

As the poet Mary Oliver wrote, “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”

This question guides much of my work with adults and couples — helping you live more fully and authentically.

How I Work with You

Who Finds This Work Helpful?

I work with adults and couples who are thoughtful, introspective, and often high-functioning on the outside, yet struggling internally with questions of connection, identity, and self-worth.

This work may be especially helpful if you are:

  • struggling with relationship fears, insecurity, or attachment patterns

  • grappling with trust issues, shame, or self-criticism

  • feeling stuck, disconnected, or not fully yourself

  • navigating creative blocks, identity questions, or performance pressure

  • seeking deeper intimacy or clearer communication in a relationship

Whether this is your first experience in therapy or you’ve tried it before, this work is for anyone seeking a reflective, relational, and emotionally attuned approach to personal growth and connection.
