Therapists in 05301

I have experience and expertise in working with adoptive children and families, particularly around attachment disorders. My practice has shown me that I have a particular skill with pre-teens and adolescents. Clients in the LGBTQ and alternative lifestyles communities will find an open-minded and welcoming presence in working with me. I especially enjoy working with transgender teens and young adults. I seek to help empower clients to find inner resources to fulfill their life goals and duly face life's challenges.

I have been in the private practice of Counseling Psychology for over 20 years working with patients suffering the effects of trauma, addiction and recovery, and stage-of-life transitions. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples to assist people in managing these effects and achieving their full potential. I also provide corporate consulting services utilizing specific skills examining archetypal patterns inherent in all living systems.

Thank you for taking a moment to read about me and my practice! I help individuals find ways to feel connected, respected, and loved. If you feel dissatisfied, scared, or confused about relationships with others (and your relationship with yourself!) in your life, I can help. Research suggests that the best predictor of therapeutic success is the relationship one has with the therapist, not the type of therapy used. Finding someone who fits you is the most important part of this work. If you'd like to see if my approach would work for you, please visit my website at kategreenenlmft.com. (Currently my couples practice is on hiatus.)

I have over 20 years experience helping people to find relief from anxiety and depression, reduce emotional reactivity, and resolve troublesome communication patterns. I work with individuals, families and adolescents. My approach to psychotherapy helps people attend to symptoms in the mind and body while increasing their ability to understand and communicate felt emotions. Somatic (body-based) techniques have been increasingly associated with more profound and timely results in therapeutic treatment. My work with clients brings focus to these three domains -- body, thought, and emotion -- in a supportive and compassionate way.

As a psychosynthesis trained counselor, my work with clients emphasizes and supports a process of self discovery, healing and personal fulfillment. Psychosynthesis offers specific methods and tools to help a person overcome obstacles, attune to their own inner voice, and move towards a greater sense of purpose and meaning. Clients discover new possibilities for living, working and relating to the world from a healthier, more authentic sense of self.

My approach to healing is soul-centered. Through various techniques, both Western and indigenous, my orientation is to help you access your spiritual essence, your true nature. Sourcing this essence will allow you to get in touch with the wounded parts of yourself with compassion and insight, rather than judgment and rejection. Seeing clearly with compassion into your habitual reactive patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting will expand your awareness and open you up to new possibilities of healing and living. My goal is to help you develop the skill and awareness to become your own skillful guide in healing.

I work with folks who experience complex trauma, grief, couples, neurodivergent folks, LGBTQIA+, and people who feel things really intensely. It can feel isolating to navigate trauma and other emotional experiences without someone to witness and be on the journey with you. Browsing psychology today profile pages, especially during a pandemic, can feel exhausting and limiting. I am a firm believer that having a positive relationship with a therapist is one of the most important parts of therapeutic work.

I believe in creating a warm, safe, and therapeutic environment where clients feel comfortable exploring challenges, emotions, and life’s difficulties. I aim to build a strong therapeutic rapport with clients which aids in finding the appropriate treatment approach. This can be helpful for individuals struggling with, but not limited to, anxiety, self esteem, and/or depression.

I have have been a Clinical Social Worker for 22 years in addition to being a Drug and Alcohol Counselor for 6 years. I believe in harm reduction as well as 12 Step Programs. l have been working with at risk populations and oppositional teens for 35 years and have a broad spectrum of clients. I work with Depression, PTSD, Anxiety and Anger. I believe we all have a story to tell and I try to help my clients separate fact from fiction. My goal is to help clients feel authentic and live comfortably in their own skin.

Are you seeking freedom from your suffering? Do you sometimes feel as if you are trapped in barbed wire and trying to get out only hurts more? Perhaps you are stuck in relationship that no longer serves you or is impacting your wellbeing. Distressing life experiences can contribute to symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety, stress, and general dissatisfaction with life. There is hope in healing the impact of past events or troubling ongoing mental health struggles which seem to impact all aspect of your life. I have had the opportunity to experience my clients find balance, liberation, and empowerment through our work together.
