Therapy is an important step in a person's life, one that takes courage, awareness and careful thought. As a practicing psychotherapist for the last 15 years, I find it a privilege and honor to work with clients as they grow and learn about themselves and their lives. I believe it can be a wonderful opportunity to explore and move towards what is meaningful to you in your life. I also believe firmly that the therapist-client relationship is an important aspect in allowing for effective change and I strive to provide a warm, supportive and trusting environment throughout the process.

No person is an island. Life would be so easy if it were possible to handle everything alone. Yet this world is full of challenges, stress, and trauma, made all the more difficult when we lack access to our most important resources. We get stuck in frustrating patterns that leave us feeling distant from our loved ones and from ourselves. This distance weaves its way into so many things: mental and physical health, identity, sexual interest and performance, and right back into the relationships we should be able to rely on.

I work with adult individuals, couples and families who are interested in moving towards a place of healing by way of exploration, insight, and self-compassion. While my approach to therapy is collaborative and person-centered, therapy is individualized based on the needs of my client, their strengths and limitations, and goals for therapy. I take great value in helping clients develop and lean into self-agency.

"Tiowishonia" is a word from the Lakota language. It means soundness of one's mind, heart and spirit. I find it a privilege to work with individuals, couples, and families to achieve this within themselves. Everyone is unique and posses a special gift. By providing a safe, nonjudgmental environment we explore one's life issues in order to resolve the barriers that prevent one from fully embracing their gift and the contribution they have to offer to themselves, their families, and communities. I utilize EMDR (certified) and use Emotional Freedom Technique as methods of treatment. I look forward to meeting you

I often work with people who grapple with hard questions to which there is no one "right" answer. I offer a non-judegmental atmosphere in which each person can seek his or her own answers. Therapy is a co-creation. I work with each person to find what "speaks" to him / her. That may include talking, mindfulness practices, or creative arts therapies. Using these methods accesses parts of the brain that can't be reached through words alone, and puts people in the flow of their wisdom and creativity, from which solutions to problems can emerge.

As a therapist, I believe simply in a person's ability to change whether it is drawing on the strengths one already has or stepping into the fear and excitement of new discovery. My role is to offer you a safe and respectful place where I acknowledge you, provide compassion for where you have been and support for where you will go. Therapy is a unique relationship built on trust. While I will cheerlead with you, I will also provide a mirror for you to find your own truth and that requires honest engagement and exploration of self. Life can be a challenge and if you are wanting to explore purpose and joy, I invite you to my practice.

I am Dr. Kate Bautch, a licensed psychological associate and I work with adults, adolescents, and children, providing individual, couples, and group therapy. In our sessions I seek to create a safe space in which you feel respected, understood, and supported. From that place, we will work together to identify what is causing your pain, and how we can use your resilience and personal strengths to facilitate the positive change you are seeking. I approach each session with acceptance, empathy, compassion, and sometimes a little humor to lighten the mood when appropriate.

I believe that when individuals are ready to receive help, they will benefit greatly. Those I serve have sought assistance because they seek to move beyond their struggle, not because they had been asked to do so. This is not to say that those who have been encouraged haven't benefited as well. The approaches used allow me to serve those who are experiencing stress, anxiety or trauma. I also assist those who are ready to find their life's purpose but feel that they need the extra support in meeting this goal.

I believe we all want a sense of satisfaction in life. Somewhere along the way we may create false beliefs, stories and exhibit maladaptive behaviors all with positive intention. But in reality, we are further disconnecting us from our true selves in the process. Helping my clients to be gentle and compassionate towards themselves and exploring the ways they learned to cope, adapt and respond to the world is the first step towards recovering their true selves. Then the journey of awareness, introspection and healing can begin.
