Katherine (Katie) Rondina
(She/Her/Hers)
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
I support women, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and young adults with trauma, gender dysphoria, mood disorders, and perinatal mental health concerns.
As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, I bring several years of experience working in both community health and telehealth settings. My approach is grounded in whole-person care. I take time to understand not just symptoms but also each person’s lifestyle, physical health, relationships, and past experiences. I’ve worked closely with transgender individuals pursuing gender-affirming surgeries and found it deeply meaningful to be part of their journey. My specialties include trauma and PTSD, mood and anxiety disorders, ADHD, OCD, eating disorders, and substance use. I also provide care throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period, and I have significant experience working with women, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and young adults. In sessions, I use evidence-based treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) while also incorporating herbal supplements, mindfulness, and meditation when appropriate. I strive to create a warm, affirming space where patients feel safe and supported. I am passionate about reducing stigma and helping every person feel seen, heard, and cared for.
