Therapists in Joshua Tree, CA

I will listen to you in an effort to understand you, where you are coming from, and any repeating patterns. I can offer alternative ways of managing triggers, stressors, and emotions, as well as to help you clarify what it is that you want for yourself.

Katy Webber, ATR-BC,LMHC,LPCC, is Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and board certified Art Therapist. She earned her Masters Degree from Lesley University’s Expressive Therapies program in 2011 and has been providing mental health services for the past 12 years. Katy has worked with clients of all ages and abilities, focusing on the co-creation of a relaxed, therapeutic environment in which clients can feel safe to explore their emotional needs. Katy's post graduate training has focused on the blending of both trauma specific modalities such as IFS and EMDR and the expressive arts.

Do you struggle with managing your reactivity, anxiety, or emotions? Are you tired of feeling stuck in painful patterns and are ready for positive change and transformation? I work with adult individuals and couples who are experiencing distress due to trauma, PTSD/C-PTSD, anxiety, addiction and issues in their relationships. Another area of my expertise is working with women who struggle with people-pleasing, boundaries and perfectionism. My approach is collaborative, warm and interactive; I believe you are the expert of you and I am able to offer tools and therapy to support you in accessing your inner wisdom and capacity to heal.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). As a seasoned therapist, my toolbox consists of varied behavioral techniques always accompanied by a humanistic and empathetic understanding that each individual is doing the best they can in any given situation. I work from a strengths-based perspective to assist you in maximizing what works for you and overcome your life's challenges. My therapeutic approach is to evaluate each person within their environment, provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges.

I help professionals in film/TV, academia, design, & corporate heal from trauma. You may excel in some areas while quietly suffering anxiety, depression (stuck/lost), and relationship pain. A past with abuse/neglect, emotional disconnect can result in a mix of both thriving and overactive survival instincts. I provide a warm judgment-free space, strict confidentiality, modern research-based techniques, and 25 years of mental health experience. I offer EMDR, parts work (like IFS, etc.), Somatic Experiencing, & psychedelic therapy. I also specialize in work with the ASD (autism), DID/DDNOS, & LGBTQ+ communities.

Healing is a process of understanding how primary past relationships and traumatic events have influenced our perceptions of ourselves, others and the world around us, often leading to a feeling of being stuck, confused and frustrated. We will work collaboratively and creatively using curiosity and non-judgment to sort through the confusion and conflict, clearing the path to more fulfilling, satisfying choices. My approach is supportive, down to earth and always interested in harnessing your strengths and resiliency.

If something painful or confusing is holding you back from the life you want to live, give me a call. I help people figure out what is holding them back and how to move forward.

It is not easy to ask for help.  I believe that in order to heal and move forward in our lives, we need to be able to dig deep and figure out what is holding us back.  While this can be challenging and at times uncomfortable, it is not something you need to do alone.

My intention is to help you reclaim and accept the parts of yourself that you’ve learned to disown — and we all have those parts. I believe that with the right support, everyone has the ability to move toward more ease, joy, and connection. I feel strongly that boxes and assumptions have no place in the therapy room. I’m dedicated to creating a space where all aspects of your identity will be recognized and can be safely explored. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits all, and our work together will be shaped by our unique chemistry and what you bring to the table.

We can sometimes find ourselves journeying through difficult and uncertain times; believing ourselves to be lost and without a clear direction - therapy offers an opportunity to gain tools for that journey with someone who will believe in your potential for change, and help you to witness your narrative through a more objective and empowered lens. A therapist is a mirror, enabling you to see the totality of your being, and all that has contributed to your existence - together we find ways to rearrange, change and rejoin your life.

Often, the beliefs we carry about ourselves don't originate with us, or it can be hard to locate the source of our emotions. Maybe certain thoughts and memories seem like they are more than you can handle; or perhaps you are well aware of patterns you would like to change but don't know where to start. When we are in the thick of things, we are too close to see clearly. What therapy offers is another set of eyes, an aerial view that enables you to observe our own life more objectively. Part of my job is to help you hold what feels like "too much", remind you of your own strength, and to figure out a path forward together.

Searching for a therapist is a strong first step in creating positive change and a more fulfilled existence. When we take care of ourselves, we are better able to be positive forces in our relationships and in the community at large. Thank you for taking this step, your work benefits all of us. I am EFT trained (Emotionally Focused Therapy) and also employ mindfulness based practices among other modalities - always tailoring to the specific needs of the client. I invite you to reach out for a free 15 minute consultation, a good rapport between therapist and client is essential for a successful therapy.
