Therapists in Westlake Village, CA
My professional voyage has traversed healthcare, the realm of workers' compensation, and the corridors of education, all of which have endowed me with a rich tapestry of skills. I’m Kathryn Star Gutierrez, Ph.D., clinical psychologist, educator, & artist specializing in the art of healing. I focus on patients who grapple with the weight of chronic pain, dance with the shadows of anxiety and depression, and bear the scars of trauma. I am specialized in treating family members including children struggling with depression associated with possible deportation of a close family member.

At times our lives feel hopeless. Anyone can change, but without help and support change is difficult. We can learn how our life experiences affect us today. We can learn new tools to better cope and even thrive. You need to feel safe in exploring your life. I connect easily with people, creating an environment of trust. I am someone who will listen, genuinely care and provide feedback rather than silent head nodding. I am confident I can help you and reaching out is the first step. If your life isn't working or you feel hopeless you can change, please call or email me. Please leave a message if I’m in session. I will call you back.

Hello there! I prefer to use a solution focused, art-based approach to therapy. We will begin by creating a treatment plan we've created together, with goals, and steps to reach those goals. I will lead the way with authenticity, respect, curiosity, and an open heart, as we discover our therapeutic relationship, and how we can help you live fully in support of you. With a background in and passion for art, I have learned to utilize colors, textures, and symbols to express my own feelings. I intend to help you shine light on the authentic, centered parts of yourself you might not normally access easily.

Do you obsess about what you eat or how much you exercise but don't feel fit and healthy? There is so much information out there but why is it that once we have the knowledge of what to do we can't do it? I felt exactly like this and realized that the missing piece is emotional fitness and well being. I use Brainspotting and Parts work to help you access your own natural healing abilities. I also help athletes to overcome performance problems and blocks and to enhance their performance through Brainspotting Sports Work. It works to process the traumas involved and allow the greatest performance to be achieved while feeling happier.

Sometimes we find ourselves seeking help and support when life hands us a path we aren't prepared to deal with. I believe that understanding and exploring the authentic self is essential in overcoming many complex struggles. I work to help uncover what my clients basic truth is, and in doing so work with anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, parenting, pregnancy, and family dynamics.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself? Do you often put everyone's needs ahead of your own? Do you wonder if this is just 'how things are' and 'will things ever get better'? Now more than ever, people are feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about how they're supposed to manage their relationships, careers and the day to day. Not setting aside time for yourself can lead to longer term struggles for your mind and body. I believe that there is hope and it's possible to live a better life.
