Was your journey towards parenthood one that brought overwhelming feelings of sadness, grief, and anxiety? Has your relationship with your partner changed drastically since having your child? Is being a parent much more difficult than you expected it would be? If you’ve experienced anxiety, depression or trauma in the perinatal period, you’re not alone. The pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period can be one of the most consuming & loneliest times in a new parent's life. No one deserves for this time in their lives to be filled with distressing thoughts, dread, or fear.
Have you felt out of place your entire life, didn’t know why, and didn’t know you were queer OR neurodivergent (OR BOTH)? Queerness, neurodiversity, love & inclusion are the most important things to me. This group is special to me as a queer, ADHD’er. I am WITH you! We experience and deal with our emotions differently and even in our environments. This group will be a safe space to unmask, discuss queerness, neurodiversity, and everything that falls under that umbrella (because it’s not just Autism and ADHD) it is so much more. Come join us for support!

I feel that every client, along with their family or loved ones, processes and copes with adversity, trauma, and mental health issues differently. It is important that I build a strong, therapeutic rapport with my clients in order to create a more comfortable environment for vulnerability. Through building a therapeutic relationship based on mutual empathy and rapport, healing and working through difficult issues can happen! Working with the LGBTQIA+ identifying community is a huge passion of mine, including community outreach. You are safe and loved here, regardless of who you are, how you identify, where you come from.
Do you have a mountain of tasks and unfinished projects that you keep avoiding? It can be difficult to navigate ADHD during these times. You don’t have to be alone. In our ADHD group, we’re here to keep you accountable so you can get things done. Our group is designed to help you by providing organization strategies and resources so you're not overwhelmed. It is a safe space to find the connection you need. Zoom only. Register for Fall group starting October 4, 2021. To learn more visit https://www.kate-engel.com/

My goal in working with you is to hear your story, patiently help you make sense of your confusion and pain, help you create unique coping skills, and build a preferred life worth living. Years ago I worked with cancer patients and their families at a Bone Marrow Transplant Unit in South Carolina. Their situations were varied and complex, their physical and emotional pain was deep. As they talked about their pain, hopelessness, worthlessness, loss, anxiety, and uncertainty, together we made sense of their confusion. Likewise, as we work together, I will help you and your challenges in the same caring and skillful way.

Do you and your partner struggle to find common ground? Are communication breakdowns, unresolved conflicts, or the effects of childhood trauma impacting your relationship? As someone who understands the profound impact that early experiences can have on your emotional well-being, self-esteem, and relationships, I offer a compassionate and trauma-informed approach to healing. Whether you are seeking support as a couple or an individual, we will navigate the challenges, address the root causes of your struggles, and empower you to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
In this group, we explore individual narratives to “body image,” as well as the differences between body positivity, body neutrality, and HAES (Health At Every Size). We explore barriers to embodiment including socio-economic status, genetics, family/societal myths/beliefs, stigmas, trauma, consistent invalidation, sports, religion, not identifying with your body, body-shame, etc. We unpack cognitive distortions, learn skills in emotion regulation, and explore mindfulness & body movement as ways to connect with the body. We utilize ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy) to bring individualized values into creating new narratives about body image.

I fully believe that every human has done and is doing the best they can with the tools they have or were given, whether effective or ineffective, with the information the body has interpreted and stored. The body and brain is malleable, flexible, and able to change. Let’s re-align with our inner-knowing, physical sensations, and core-values; change our interpretations and the narrative, to cultivate a new path forward that supports you as you level up with new and more effective tools. There is hope and I am so honored to join you on this next part of your journey.

My approach to therapy is client-centered, humanistic, integrative, narrative, and trauma-informed. Together, we can work to uncover and retell the narratives of your life. We will in no way dismiss the hardships you have faced, rather, we can honor these experiences through thoughtful reflection. Through this process, we can also collaborate to cultivate more balance, purpose, passion, and growth in your life. I also strive to always acknowledge how systemic oppression can affect my clients lives. Therapy is absolutely a space where one should feel comfortable processing the impact of oppression.

My clients describe me as warm, engaging, thoughtful and funny, but also as direct, challenging, and focused; seeking out the hard and stuck places in their approach to living and loving. I don't try to convince my clients that life is easy or carefree, but I do believe a lot of contentment with life and acceptance of the self can be found when we face and come to terms with our truths. Unlike many folks offering therapy services, I have engaged in extensive education and training, in analytically informed psychotherapy, which I belief enriches and deepens the work.

Need help adjusting to a life change? Choosing to seek help through psychotherapy is a positive and resourceful step toward having the life and relationships you desire. In my 20 years of practice I have had the privilege of partnering with parents who face the challenge of addressing at-risk behavior in their teen and young adult, the parents who have lost their child to substance abuse or suicide, the couples who find ways to reconnect, address intimacy issues and co-parent effectively, the college student who needs support, the teen who feels overwhelmed and the adult who experiences anxiety and depression.
This online group is for young adult women in their 20s and 30s who struggle with facets of early adulthood including anxiety, peer relationships, dating, boundaries, and life stresses. Group members support one another and engage with one another within the group setting with the therapist facilitating as needed and offering additional support and considerations.

Does life feel like a struggle? Maybe you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and not like yourself. Everything is annoying. Your fuse is running a bit short. You don't even want to interact with other people because it's too much: too much energy, too much trying, too much struggle. You don't feel like anyone can understand you. Past memories continue to impact you and you don't know what else to do. Life feels like such a struggle. You want to be involved in life and happy. You want to laugh, smile, and enjoy life.
