You can’t remember the last time you had a good day. Anxiety and depression have taken away your freedom. You say “yes” when you want to say “no”. You feel like a doormat to your family and friends. Your trauma plays over and over in your mind. People's words determine your self-worth. You don't know who you are when your relationship falls apart. Grief stole the joy you once had. You have difficulty regulating yourself after a life adjustment. You sit and wonder what happened to the life you once loved, a life you worked so hard to build. If any of this sounds familiar... take a deep breath. I'm Katie, and I'm here to help.

So often we have a desire to find someone who will truly listen to us, who can understand the challenges we face without judgment. We may need help to discover and set priorities to move forward and motivate us to live life more courageously. If you feel stuck or stagnant, experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, trauma, or grief, I would consider it an honor to partner with you in the process of healing, growth, and redirection. When we find the courage to speak out loud or express ourselves through creative means, we gain fresh insight that can lead to positive change and a healthier, more authentic way of life.

Let’s Talk! The stigma on Mental Health has encouraged me to advocate and bring awareness to the fact that we all in some way, shape, or form experience some type of challenge even if it is only situational. You do not have to let it define you. Sometimes talking through situations allows for recognition and growth, leading to a more productive and fulfilling life.

Wearing masks is exhausting - are you ready to find your authentic self? Struggling with boundaries, authenticity, or being assertive? Are you finding that you are unsure of who you are anymore, due to the "hard stuff" life has thrown at you? We wear masks when we don't accept ourselves or feel others will either; believing we must play a certain part in order to be accepted. And acceptance is what we all want to feel. I believe the roots of things we have experienced in our lives, be them small traumas, big traumas, or any memorable moments in between - culminate who we become, how we act/react, and how we see ourselves.

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
