Katherine "Katie" Rondina

I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing from Hunter College. I’ve worked in both telehealth and community health settings, and I deeply value the ways different environments can expand access to mental health care. My experience includes working with transgender patients preparing for gender-affirming surgery, and supporting patients living with HIV. These experiences have helped shape my commitment to inclusive, affirming care.

I specialize in women’s mental health, including care during pregnancy and postpartum, trauma and PTSD, and gender dysphoria. I also treat mood and anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, ADHD, substance use disorders, and eating disorders. My practice incorporates evidence-based treatment approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I also integrate elements of mindfulness, meditation, and herbal supplements, depending on what feels right for the patient.

I offer whole-person care, which means I look at the full context of your life—your diet, relationships, past experiences, routines, and identity—all of which can influence mental health. I take time to understand your goals and challenges so we can collaborate on a treatment plan that fits your life and values. Sessions with me are supportive, structured, grounded in science, and always attuned to your needs in the moment.

I’ve been in practice for several years, and what I enjoy most is connecting with people and creating a space where they feel seen and heard. I work frequently with LGBTQIA+ individuals, women, and young adults navigating major life transitions.

Outside of work, I’m passionate about reducing the stigma around mental health and making care accessible for those who might otherwise go without it.
