Bisexual Therapists in Northampton, MA

I practice from a trauma informed and relational cultural perspective that places high value on the relationship between therapist and client. Through an authentic, mutual, and collaborative approach I help my clients focus on the history of their relationships and how these relationships have lead to growth and fulfillment and/or isolation and suffering. I view every person as inherently whole and thus aim to lighten the emotional burdens that leave individuals feeling incomplete, broken, and/or dispirited.

Therapy can be a space for reflecting on patterns in one’s life in order to contextualize both the past and the present. I am interested in joining with clients through processes of change that involve working toward accepting the parts of self that feel harder to allow in. I believe that cultivating self-acceptance often helps us to create not only an increased ability to hold our internal experiences with care and nuance but also more space for our external world and relationships with others.

As an Art Therapist, I work with adults who want to reconnect with and nurture their creative selves, or discover for the first time that creative energy within. I came into the art therapy field after seeing for myself how making art can help express things that aren't always easy to talk about. Sometimes words just aren't enough. I understand why we keep some things inside, and the burden that can bring. I'll offer you a safe space to work through those things that are weighing you down.

I practice mindfulness-based therapy, specializing in trauma, anxiety & depression. You are not alone if you're struggling with feeling like something is wrong with you, or loving, trusting or prioritizing yourself. Our life experiences, relationships & mental health can make us feel hopeless & sometimes like all of our issues are our fault. You don't need to continue down a path of fear & self-destruction. Healing & improving our wellbeing is hard, but it is possible & it helps to have someone to walk alongside you.

I tend to work with individuals who have challenges and curiosities related to self and identity, relationships, and how one's past has shaped the present. I seek to provide an attentive and supportive space that encourages an exploration of the range and complexity of experience and feeling in order to deepen an understanding and sense of self.

Thank you for taking a moment to read about me and my practice! I help individuals find ways to feel connected, respected, and loved. If you feel dissatisfied, scared, or confused about relationships with others (and your relationship with yourself!) in your life, I can help. Research suggests that the best predictor of therapeutic success is the relationship one has with the therapist, not the type of therapy used. Finding someone who fits you is the most important part of this work. If you'd like to see if my approach would work for you, please visit my website at kategreenenlmft.com.

Waitlist. Are you finding it hard to navigate every day life? Life can be confusing and chaotic. Therapy can help identify your strengths, create new coping skills, and gain self-awareness and clarity. I strive to be an empathetic listener and work to create a safe and supportive space for you to explore your feelings and thoughts.

* ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS * My work aims to help individuals develop a deeper connection with themselves and how they relate to the world around them. Together, we will cultivate a greater sense of self-awareness to drive positive change in your life. I tend to focus on identifying maladaptive patterns in thoughts and coping strategies, understanding where these patterns stem from and what maintains them, and exploring more sustainable, affirming approaches. Often times this means examining attachments and ruptures in early development to consider how they continue to present in day-to-day life.
