Get to know Katherine “Katie” Rondina, PMHNP-BC, a psychiatric nurse practitioner who brings curiosity, compassion, and a holistic lens to every session. Katie provides care for a wide range of mental health conditions, with a particular interest in supporting women before, during, and after pregnancy.
Her approach is thoughtful, evidence-based, and grounded in whole-person understanding — one that considers not just biology, but also lived experience, identity, diet, and social context. Keep reading to learn how she helps patients feel safe, supported, and truly seen.
Specialty & Approach To Therapy
Katie treats a broad range of conditions — including anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, eating disorders, and more — and has a strong interest in women’s mental health, including care during pregnancy and postpartum. She also has meaningful experience working with LGBTQIA+ clients and young adults, and continues to value the ways telehealth can expand access to care.
Her style combines psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral (CBT), and interpersonal approaches, with an emphasis on meeting each person where they are. Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual, and she takes care to assess patients holistically, looking at the full picture of someone’s life, not just their symptoms. Depending on the person, her care may include mindfulness, meditation, or herbal supplements, in addition to medication management and therapeutic support.
Above all, Katie wants patients to feel genuinely understood — and to know they don’t have to separate their emotional health from the rest of who they are.
Advice To Those Seeking Therapy
Katie encourages new patients to acknowledge the courage it takes to begin. “I would emphasize that they are very brave for taking those first steps,” she says.
She also reminds people that finding the right fit may take time. “Sometimes it takes a few tries to find the right mental health care provider for you,” she shares — and that’s okay.
When choosing a provider, Katie emphasizes that comfort and safety are key. “The most important thing is to find someone you feel safe and comfortable with,” she says, “and the rest will fall into place.”
Whether you’re exploring therapy for the first time or re-engaging with care, she encourages you to trust your instincts and prioritize a connection that feels affirming and steady.
Finding Balance Through Self-Care
Katie’s evening routine is all about unwinding and resetting. “I dim the lights down, do an evening stretching routine and red-light therapy, and snuggle up on my couch with my cat,” she says — a rhythm that helps her slow down and recharge.
Providers like Katie offer mental healthcare that’s evidence-based, culturally attuned, and deeply personal. Reach out to learn more about working with Katie or finding a provider who fits your needs.
