Katie RAins, LMHC

Couples

I earned my masters in Mental Health Counseling from Baruch University - City University of New York in 2018 and provide counseling to couples and individuals. 

As a couples therapist, I integrate two powerful therapeutic approaches to help partners create lasting positive change. The Gottman Method, developed through over four decades of research with thousands of couples, provides a structured framework to build friendship, manage conflict effectively, and create shared meaning in relationships. This evidence-based approach helps couples develop practical skills for navigating disagreements while deepening their emotional connection.

I complement this foundation with Relational Life Therapy, pioneered by Terry Real, which addresses the deeper patterns that can create distance between partners. This approach helps couples move beyond surface-level conflicts to heal underlying hurts and develop genuine intimacy. By combining these methods, I can help partners develop concrete communication tools and address the root causes of their struggles.

Whether you're struggling with ongoing conflicts, emotional distance, or recovering after infidelity, I create a space where both partners feel heard and respected as we work together toward meaningful change. 

Individuals

I work with professionals struggling with anxiety, burnout, and the constant pressure to perform while managing their mental health. We focus on creating tangible change through an action-oriented therapeutic approach. 

I have specialized training and expertise in ADHD and autism spectrum disorder. Whether you’re dealing with executive function challenges, social communication complexities, time blindness, perfectionism, or difficulty with task initiation, we'll develop personalized approaches that work with your natural strengths.

Together we'll:

  • Create practical strategies for managing anxiety and overwhelm

  • Develop sustainable routines that align with your processing style

  • Build better interpersonal relationships while maintaining boundaries

  • Transform behavioral patterns that no longer serve you
