Do you feel like you've hit a wall? You're spinning in circles? You keep reliving past experiences? Or perhaps you and your partner are having the same fights repeatedly with no resolution. Maybe you're a parent floating along in a sea of chaos that you can't ever seem to bring order to. Feeling alone, lost, or ashamed that you 'can't handle this' or you 'should know what to do' - everyone else seems to be doing just fine.
There is no Life Manual, no Relationship Guide, no Parenting Handbook given at birth to navigate your life.

Hi. My name is Kate Pauley and I work with individuals, couples, and families. It is my greatest joy to see clients experiencing warmth, love, and bliss in their relationships. This may sound unattainable right now, and that is okay. I will work together with you from exactly where you are right now to get you to where you want to be. Did you know that the average couple waits 6 years after first thinking about therapy before actually coming to therapy? Because I offer affordable counseling, you do not need to wait until things are unbearable before starting. No matter where you are right now, I am here.

Lacking direction and purpose, questioning your choices, waking up in the middle of the night thinking of all the things to do? Life, and all the transitions in it, has a way of bringing us to the edge of our capacity, and letting us lose our sense of self. Therapy can help you rework your potential and get to the place that you want to be.

I believe, one of the best things we can do for ourselves, is begin to understand our own story. Life brings us many changes and challenges that hold us back from living our lives to our fullest potential. When we approach these changes and challenges with curiosity rather than fear, we slowly begin to take back control of our own lives.

Are you and your partner struggling to communicate? Have you lost that spark in your relationship? Are you a parent who has lost connection with your teenager or child? Do you feel lost and overwhelmed? I decided to be a couple and family therapist because I know how hard relationships can be and that sometimes we need a little help. There is no shame in asking for help. We are all imperfect and are not born with a roadmap on how to navigate troubled relationships and family. I believe all people are capable of meaningful and transformational change. Let me help.

Life’s ups and downs can be challenging and sometimes leave us feeling alone and misunderstood. You might be feeling stressed or overwhelmed — or longing for meaningful connections. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. Sometimes change is expected, and other times it can surprise us.

I believe that every individual should receive therapy that is centered on one’s own wellbeing and desire for self-importance. My goal is to help individuals accept and trust themselves and to feel valued being themselves. I have worked alongside LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, those within the criminal justice system, and intersecting identities. I have a background in supporting individuals who experience depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, and schizophrenia. I believe identity is a key element in understanding the individual and their relationship within wider systems. Email please if interested. I work Tuesdays thru Saturdays.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
