My name is Dr. Katherine Kline and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) as well as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) located in Saint Louis, Missouri. I hold a Masters Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from Michigan State University, and a PhD in Counselor Education from Michigan State University. I have over 13 years of experience in the counseling profession and I have worked with a wide range of populations to include, teens/ adolescents, and adults that present with a variety of issues and concerns.

Life can feel overwhelming. Maybe you think you have nowhere to turn. But sometimes there's relief in just being understood. I provide a comfortable and accepting safe space where you can freely share whatever you're thinking without being judged. I structure my practice around each client's individual needs because no single model can work for all people. I work with diverse populations, ranging in age from young adults to the elderly, and including clients struggling with dementia, MS, neurological disorders, and caregiving. I specialize in topics such as ADD, anxiety, chronic illness, and depression.

While struggle is common to the human experience, it can lead to healing and growth. Even in the most difficult of circumstances, it is possible to choose a life of purpose and joy. My desire is to collaborate with clients to find hope, healing and solutions for life’s challenges. I am particularly interested in trauma, women’s issues, relationship struggles including betrayal trauma, parenting challenges and life transitions.  I am passionate about meeting people where they are, learning their stories and supporting them as they build the life they desire. I will hold space for your pain and hope for your healing.

Every individual has experienced internal conflict regarding their mental health. Some of those we navigate just fine on our own and that is awesome! Other times we need some guidance, new ideas on how to effectively communicate, affirmations that we "do hard things", or to have our views on a situation challenged so we can come back with greater understanding and additional empathy.

Have you experienced constant putdowns, frequent criticism, controlling behavior, or physical violence by a family member or significant other? Are you suffering from unrelenting self-doubt or have difficulty maintaining boundaries? Do you tend to hide or deny your pain? These are just a few of the common dynamics experienced by those entangled in a toxic relationship. Learn how to take back your power, take responsibility for your life, and grow in strength and compassion towards yourself and others.

Struggling relationships, difficult transitions, and heavy losses can feel exhausting, confusing, burdensome, and at times, unbearable. Sometimes, we need a safe and confidential space where we feel supported, understood, and can learn to move forward. I approach counseling with the belief that you possess innate dignity and worth, and it’s my priority to help you feel heard and valued as you tell your story and share your struggles. As we engage with the experiences that have brought you here, I believe that hope and growth await you, and it is possible to live your life in the ways that you long for.

Counseling is a great privilege for me and it’s an honor to partner with people and hear their stories. Through the context of relationships, we are able to be seen and known, which gives us the ability to flourish, grow, and experience a fuller, richer life. My heart is for everyone to be able to have more of that. Each person has unique needs, and I collaborate with my clients to tailor the counseling space to help them reach their goals. I work with families, couples, groups, and individuals of all ages.

We all go through difficult times and need some help navigating our way through. I am here to create an empathetic environment for you and your family to overcome challenges. I have experience working with children, teens, adults, couples, and families from many different backgrounds and cultures. I pull from a variety of techniques and theories to provide tools and consultation to help you and your family to make meaningful changes. I draw from a Cognitive Behavioral therapeutic technique, and use Enneagram personality assessments to guide in self-discovery.

Hello and welcome! Do you and/or your child suffer from trauma, grief/loss, depression/anxiety, or disturbing memories? Has your family experienced difficult changes because of the Covid-19 pandemic? I am committed to the belief that children and adults alike are inherently resourceful and experts of their own lives, even on those occasions when they feel overwhelmed and in need of help. In my practice it is an honor to walk alongside my clients, caregivers, and families to generate solutions and embrace hope.

You're feeling like something is wrong. You're afraid this is what life is like now, your new normal. You don't recognize yourself. Maybe you don't know where or when things went left, maybe you do. Either way, you're angry and sad and confused. You're thinking it might be your fault.

I know life can be overwhelming. The disappointments, expectations, setbacks, and experiences you can't seem to get passed can be a lot to navigate on your own... that's why I'm glad you've taken the first step to reach out.

I began working in the counseling field 17 years ago to help individuals, couples, and families heal from the difficulties of life and develop their full potential. I spent the first 7 of those years working in the addiction field. That experience gave me knowledge, insight, and compassion for individuals struggling with addictions. I also have a passion for helping couples develop strong, healthy, loving, and trusting marriages. As an adoptive father I understand the issues and challenges faced by adoptive parents and their children. In addition to the above I'm experienced in treating depression, anxiety, anger, grief, and issues related to codependency.

Is your heart always racing? Are you suffering from headaches, belly aches, tension in your back or neck? Do you lack patience with your kids, partner, colleagues, friends? Let's be real, life is hard. When we become overwhelmed with daily stressors, chronic stress, or trauma our body is impacted. Sometimes we need someone who isn't related to us and has no judgments to talk to. Maybe you are facing a big life change, maybe an event is constantly replaying in your mind, maybe the daily stressors are adding up. There is hope!
