I believe in an integrative, individualized approach to therapy focused on using your strengths to build a plan for a thriving recovery lifestyle.
Hi, I’m Kathy. I’m passionate about helping individuals and families struggling with substance use to find a different way to deal with life's difficulties. If you’ve found yourself escaping from your day to day life and struggling with fear, resentment, anger or embarrassment, I want to be a part of your change. Hope and the ability to change are already within you. We can discover a new purpose and pathway to a healthy and thriving lifestyle. I work with those dealing with trauma, grief, anxiety, anger and more. I am passionate about working with Veterans and assisting justice involved individuals who feel “stuck” in the system.

My approach to therapy can be considered interactive and integrative.
Navigating life’s inherent difficulties can be challenging. Sometimes therapy can help. From confronting issues such as loss/grief, anxiety, depression, and interpersonal problems, to facing significant life decisions or struggling with marital/relationship concerns, many factors can prevent any of us from engaging in our lives more fully. Whether you are new to therapy or you're returning to work through a new or lingering issue, creating a safe place to explore, understand, and respond to your concerns is crucial. Utilizing warmth and transparency, I hope to cultivate a trusting partnership with you.

I use an integrative approach to help people strengthen connection with self and others, along with EMDR training for those seeking trauma-specific support.
Life is complicated, and none of us thrive in isolation. We all need connection and support from others in order to grow and live fully into our lives. I am driven by curiosity, and I love to help people locate and tell their stories within the larger frames of family, community, and social systems. I’m best suited to work with clients who are sifting through family, parenting, and relationship issues, grief and transitions, traumas, identity and spirituality questions, and issues with anxiety and depression.

As a licensed professional counselor, I believe we all have a story to tell as we navigate through life. Everyone deserves a safe space to share their story, build new skills, and learn new insights into who they are. Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or grief? Has stress got you feeling overwhelmed? Do substance abuse issues have you feeling stuck? I use an integrative approach, utilizing evidenced based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), act and commitment therapy (ACT), solutions focused therapy (SFT), brainspotting (BSP), and mindfulness.

My approach to psychological healing is integrative, mixing psychodynamic, mind/body, transpersonal, mindfulness, and CBT approaches to psychotherapy. My philosophy of therapy stresses respect for the client and the client’s experience. Therapy often involves the exploration of family of origin issues and the impact of old conditioning on current functioning. I also emphasize the importance of developing existing personal strengths and resources. I often use a personality system called the Enneagram to clarify client strengths and issues. I have expertise in mindfulness. See my website, www.musiccitytherapy.com.

I use a strengths-based integrative approach to therapy, and I strongly believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and change.
I believe that we are designed to exist with the whole of ourselves being able to commune together and take up space. Maybe you even believe it and yet as hard as you have tried, there are just some places within yourself that feel impossible to get to, some patterns that feel impossible to move out of, some emotional expressions and experiences that feel so out of reach. Or maybe you just feel stuck. Stuck in ways you can name and in some you can’t even put words to. Maybe it’s been like this forever — maybe you can’t even think of a time when you didn’t have to be vigilant or anxious or disconnected from parts of yourself.

I offer a holistic, integrative, client-centered approach, applying effective evidence-based treatment models in a safe, authentic therapeutic environment where you’re free to ditch the façade and be yourself without judgment.
Are you running your life, or is life running you? Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected? Now more than ever, many feel pressured to normalize anxiety, depression, and hopelessness as just a part of life as they struggle to heal from painful wounds of past trauma and abuse or navigate life transitions, grief and loss, or self-image issues. But stuffing emotions and pushing your needs away can lead to long-term problems for your mind and body. Specializing in the invisible wounds and unspoken struggles that can steal our joy, I’m passionate about helping others experience the freedom and healing I know firsthand is possible.

I have an integrative approach to therapy drawing from Attachment Therapy, EFT, and IFS (internal family systems), while valuing the therapeutic relationship above all.
Every human at one point or another needs help on their journey in life. Perhaps you are feeling stuck or disconnected, experiencing a loss, or in the midst of a life transition. Maybe life feels overwhelming or your ways of being (beliefs and strategies) are no longer working for you or you are just longing for things to be different but aren’t sure where to even start. It takes great courage to find a counselor and begin the process of healing and wholeness that can come through therapy. I understand this as I have experienced my own transformative growth and healing through personal therapy.

Integrative Therapists

What is integrative therapy?

Integrative therapy is a type of therapy that combines ideas and techniques from different therapeutic approaches depending on the needs of the individual client. By merging elements of different treatments, an integrative therapist aims to offer a more flexible approach than those who practice just one type of therapy.

How does integrative therapy work?

Integrative therapy approaches a client’s mental, physical, and emotional health in a holistic way to discover the sources of their unhealthy behavior patterns or other challenges and considers the approach most likely to lead to improvement. Among the techniques an integrative therapist may practice are cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, art or music therapy, psychodynamic therapy, breathwork, family systems therapy, gestalt therapy, and trauma-informed therapy. An integrative therapist regularly evaluates the client’s progress and is prepared to pivot to a different approach if progress stalls.

How long does integrative therapy last?

As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for integrative therapy; people who find they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that spurred them to seek treatment. New patients should understand that it may take some time for a therapist to land on a treatment approach that best meets their needs, but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.

How effective is integrative therapy?

There are hundreds of types of talk therapy, and research shows that while they vary in form, goals, and frequency, many if not all can produce similarly successful outcomes. But a single approach does not always deliver the greatest, or speediest, benefit, and so even therapists primarily trained in one model will use tools, language, techniques, or exercises from others to shape an effective treatment plan.
