Therapy for folks who've felt othered, in Bloomfield, Montclair & across New Jersey.
I'm Katie Crank (she/they), a queer- and trans-affirming, EMDR-trained therapist. I work with LGBTQIA+, ADHD and autistic folks, parents, and anyone carrying trauma, to help you feel less alone and more like yourself again.

LCSW, PMH-C · she/they
“The way you're feeling is not just you. Support systems are often broken or missing, and all of us need to feel connected and cared for.”
We weren't wired to navigate life's hardest seasons in isolation. Care Collective is built around a simple belief: healing happens in connection.
If any of this sounds like you, you're in the right place.
You don't need a diagnosis or a crisis to deserve support. Most of the people I work with are simply tired of feeling stuck, unseen, or alone.
Queer, trans & nonbinary folks
Affirming care where your identity is the foundation, never the problem.
ADHD & autistic adults & kids
ADHD, autistic, and AuDHD folks who are done masking to fit a mold.
New & seasoned parents
From postpartum overwhelm to the meltdowns that test your patience.
Trauma & PTSD survivors
Carrying something heavy, a single event or a lifetime of hard things.
Therapy, assessment, and coaching tailored to you
Every path starts with a free consult. Explore the support that fits where you are right now.
We can actually be in the same room.
So much of therapy has moved behind a screen. That works for some, and I offer online sessions across New Jersey too. But there's something a video call can't replace: sharing a quiet, safe space in person, where your nervous system can finally settle.
- In-person sessions at the Bloomfield, NJ office
- In-person EMDR for kids, play-based and gentle
- Online & hybrid options for clients anywhere in NJ
- Parent coaching by phone or video, nationwide
Evidence-based methods, delivered with real warmth
No two people need the same thing. I draw from approaches with strong research behind them and weave them together to fit you.
A structured, research-backed therapy that helps your brain reprocess stuck or painful memories so they lose their charge.
Names the real systems, sexism, racism, ableism, transphobia, that shape distress, so it's never framed as 'just you.'
Gets to know the different 'parts' of you, the protector, the critic, the wounded one, with curiosity instead of judgment.
An evidence-based model for kids and teens healing from trauma, blending coping skills with gentle processing.
Helps you understand the emotions underneath conflict and patterns, so you can build more secure connection with yourself and others.
Builds a kinder inner voice, especially for folks who are hard on themselves or carry shame.
A therapist who gets that connection is the whole point.
Through my own journey and the wisdom of the people I've sat with, I've learned that isolation keeps us stuck, and connection is what helps us move. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Perinatal Mental Health-Certified therapist, and Certified Good Inside Parent Coach, I bring both clinical depth and genuine warmth to every session.
Affirming & allied with so many communities
You shouldn't have to explain or defend who you are to your therapist. Care Collective is an explicitly affirming space.
