Treatment usually consists of Cognitive-Behavioral Strategies and Solution Focused Treatment.
Many people often ask what "type" of client I enjoy working with or what I want to specialize in. After careful and thoughtful consideration, my response is always the same. I enjoy an integrated approach with each client as a whole, and work with the specific "therapeutic needs," of the individual client. The particular symptoms or circumstances may vary; depression, anxiety, trauma, divorce, grief, academic failure...stress management, anger management but the intention is the same. Set a mutual goal, reduce the symptoms and return the client to a higher level of daily functioning in the hope it will improve the quality of their life.

Not accepting new clients-waitlist- telehealth only! Hello! I’m Katie, and I look forward to supporting you. My specialty is working with adults who are struggling with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). I also enjoy supporting those dealing with other anxiety disorders and depression. OCD is often unrecognized for what it is, as it can take a lot of different forms. Some indicators are recurrent doubts about whether one has done a certain action or about who they are at their core, significant trouble moving past certain unsettling thoughts/urges, and having to do something a certain way to "make up" for unnerving thoughts/urges.

How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
