My professional voyage has traversed healthcare, the realm of workers' compensation, and the corridors of education, all of which have endowed me with a rich tapestry of skills. I’m Kathryn Star Gutierrez, Ph.D., clinical psychologist, educator, and artist specializing in the art of healing. I focus on patients who grapple with the weight of chronic pain, dance with the shadows of anxiety and depression, and bear the scars of trauma. I typically treat adults, who often have a physical injury followed by a sequela of chronic pain. Additionally I treat patients who are struggling with women issues, anxiety and depression.
Among my tools are the brushes of evidence-based treatments, including CBT, mindfulness, and guided imagery, all wielded within the canvas of a uniquely tailored approach.
I weave a mosaic of individual and group therapy, shepard patients toward effective communication, illuminate a path of career choices, and aid in the delicate realm of pain management. I devote myself to parent education, meticulous assessment, the world of forensics, and the artistry of report writing. Call me, lets talk and see if we are a fit.
