Katherine (Kat) Illgen

Are you struggling with anxiety, OCD, or intrusive thoughts? Do you have unresolved trauma? If so, I'm here to help. Hello, I'm Katherine, an affirming Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and Certified DBT provider, passionate about helping individuals like you. My empathetic approach involves using proven therapeutic modalities and personalized treatment plans. I can customize your plan to include services like extended session times, therapy intensives, and gold-standard modalities to help you see significant results faster. You aspire to regain control and find the joy in life, and I'm committed to helping you achieve that.

I specialize in the treatment of Trauma, OCD, and anxiety disorders. I am trained in CBT, DBT, I-CBT, Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) and Exposure Response Prevention Therapy (ERP). These treatments are designed to get you significant results quickly, without needing years of therapy. Why wait to feel better? Call now and let me help you improve your life.

Confronting past trauma, anxiety, and OCD is not easy. Neither is living with it daily. PE, I-CBT, & ERP are designed to break the hold trauma and OCD have on you in a few months, not years. My goal is to assist, inspire, and motivate you to move through these challenges, so you can return to truly enjoying your life. Invest in yourself by calling me today.
