Creating a Safe Haven for Growth: Dr. Stratigis' Supportive Approach

Dr. Stratigis has been described as energetic, fun, and supportive, infusing the therapy room with laughter and humor. She believes in fostering a safe space where clients can be vulnerable and open, ensuring that each individual feels heard, seen, and empowered.

Dr. Stratigis specializes in addressing a range of concerns, including depression, anxiety-related disorders, life transitions, self-esteem, perfectionism and shame, eating disorders and disordered eating, ADHD, as well as providing support during the IVF and fertility journey. Her extensive training in evidence-based practices such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) equips her to offer effective, tailored treatment plans. Dr. Stratigis also integrates Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD, acknowledging that past coping patterns were once adaptive. She guides clients in identifying healthier ways to process and navigate uncomfortable emotions. By supporting clients through an integrated approach, she tailors her methods to meet each unique individual's needs, empowering them to cultivate a stronger sense of self. She also provides assessments in Thrive’s New York office for ADHD and both online and in-person assessments and consultations for those on the fertility journey.

Katerina also provides therapy in Greek.

“I am committed to understanding and helping every client for who they are as an individual and the many hats they wear in day-to-day life. I believe each person has many parts of themselves that make them whole and it is important for me and you to be connected and accepting of all parts. I am committed to better understanding you as a whole and the environment and systems that play a role in your being.” - Katerina Stratigis, Psy.D
