Not accepting new clients until June 17th! I’m Katrin Otterness (she/her), a licensed mental health counselor. I seek to create a holistic and inclusive approach to therapy. I work primarily with women who are navigating anxiety, depression, neurodiversity, and/or trauma, but I am open to working with anyone who is a good fit. I also work well with over thinkers, people-pleasers, and high-achievers who are self-aware, but still feel disconnected.
Sessions with me often look relaxed and conversational with moments of mindfulness, humor, and creativity. I am also not afraid to gently challenge you when I notice certain patterns that may not be serving you. My goal for therapeutic work is to facilitate a reconnection with your authentic self through client-centered, relational, and feminist approach
When I am not donning my therapist hat, you will likely find me playing video games, petting my cat, working out, reading, watching F1 racing, or crafting. If all that sounds like your cup of tea, then reach out to schedule a quick consultation call to see if we’re a good fit. I look forward to working with you!

I enjoy working from the philosophy that no emotional response is meant to be "fixed", but rather understood and processed. Therefore, this work often looks like exploring what purpose emotions serve and attuning to the body's natural ability to know what is best for you.

I frequently use mindfulness, expressive therapy IFS, acceptance and commitment therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy approaches. This can look like challenging unhelpful thought patterns, creating new adaptive belief systems, and aligning with your values and goals for the future.
