Katia Kordek, MSS

Clinical Therapist

I conduct therapy with a person-centered, mindful, and relaxed approach. My best strength is meeting you where you are at, relating to you on a deeper level, and making sure you feel safe in our clinical setting. I thrive in outpatient settings, as I connect best on a weekly basis to ensure rapport is built. I support my clients in creating and building the best versions of themselves in whatever capacity is wanted and needed. I work with my clients to ensure they feel comfortable and empowered to take on their current struggles.

I was raised in Maine and studied psychology for my undergraduate degree. I then obtained my masters in Social Service from Bryn Mawr College. I have spent years working in different mental health agencies, including residential, inpatient, and outpatient settings. I work largely with humanistic, psychodynamic, and affirmative therapy modalities. I have lengthy personal and professional experience with the LGBTQIA+ community and body positivity.

I am the therapist that kicks off my shoes, is known to sit on the floor for sessions, and brings a level of comfortability that you may not have experienced before. In my free time I spend time with my partner, my 21 pound black cat, and cooking for loved ones. I also enjoy reality TV, baking sweet treats, and embroidery.

“I have been fortunate to be a client of Katia’s for years, and I can genuinely say she is the best therapist I have ever worked with. Having been diagnosed with anxiety and depression at a young age, I am no stranger to therapy. Still, working with Katia has truly transformed my life, especially through some of my most pivotal adult moments.

Katia creates an environment uniquely tailored to what her clients need. There are days when I need to process deep‑rooted thoughts and emotions, and she is there with compassion, guidance, and unwavering support. Other days, I simply need to vent or find a moment of lightness in the middle of stress — and she somehow meets that, too, bringing warmth, humor, and a sense of ease. No matter what I walk in carrying, I always leave her office feeling lighter.

She makes me feel deeply valued and understood, remembering the important people in my life, significant dates, and meaningful moments I have coming up. She has a way of making everything I’m going through feel important and reminding me that I never have to face anything alone. I have never felt more seen by a therapist, and that sense of safety has helped me dig deeper, understand myself better, and grow into a stronger, more grounded version of myself.

Working with Katia has been an absolute privilege, and I am profoundly grateful to have her as a trusted resource in my life.”

“Over the last year and a half, my therapist, Katia, has been an incredible source of support and growth in my life. She helped me navigate a major transition—moving away from the city and from my family and friends to a more rural part of central Massachusetts. That change felt overwhelming at times, but with her guidance, I was able to process the grief, adjustment, and identity shifts that came with it in a healthy way.

Katia has also been instrumental in helping me navigate my relationship—from the early stages of getting serious to now preparing for marriage. She has helped me recognize how past trauma can surface even in healthy, loving situations, and has given me the tools to respond thoughtfully instead of reactively.

One of the most meaningful areas of growth has been working through the trauma of a nine-year relationship that involved domestic violence. Katia has helped me unpack that experience with compassion and strength, and has supported me in building and maintaining healthy boundaries—especially in co-parenting dynamics with the daughter we raised together.

Katia has also helped me work through longstanding and current challenges with my mother. With her support, I’ve learned how to approach difficult conversations with more confidence, clarity, and emotional regulation.

On a personal level, she has helped me build healthier body confidence and reconnect with the things I am passionate about. I feel more grounded, self-aware, and empowered than I have in years.

Talking through my weeks with her consistently gives me perspective across all areas of my life—work, family, friendships, and my relationship as I step into marriage. I’m deeply grateful for her steady guidance, insight, and care. She has truly helped me grow into a stronger, healthier version of myself.”

“Katia has been an incredible therapist for me. She makes me feel safe enough to take a more honest approach to therapy through her trust, kindness, and down-to-earth demeanor. We have gotten to the root of things I thought I’d never be able to face, and it was never as scary as I anticipated because of how understanding and patient she consistently is.”
