I am passionate about supporting women and men who have had tragic loss and traumatic experiences and are struggling to sort out their person hood. I am uniquely gifted at working with women who have had DCF child removals, unwanted court involvement and relational fragmentation due to trauma, substance use and interpersonal violence. I offer therapeutic services that support your personal work to heal the pain of isolation and stigma that occurs when anger kicks up impulsivity and compulsions. It's important for my prospective client to understand that I am primarily a trauma therapist.

I help women of color and LGBTQ+ clients dealing with depression and anxiety who want to learn to prioritize themselves– without guilt. My clients are caring people, but only thinking about everyone else has left them tired. They're ready to slow down, treat themselves with kindness, and figure out what's important to them. Often, they also want to learn to be vulnerable so they can feel closer to people. When we begin our work together, they know there's something missing in their lives but they're overwhelmed and don't know how to start making changes.

I see many adult women with ADHD.
Have traumas or other events thrown your life off course? I see my job as helping people get back to their "regularly scheduled lives". Whether you have PTSD, or you are a bereaved parent or someone grieving a recent loss, I believe that with the right amount of understanding and validation, every person can successfully reclaim their lives and find his/her/their purpose again. As a consultant and Adjunct Professor specializing in grief and loss, I realize that not all losses are due to death. Grieving for a multitude of losses, including Learning Disorders, ADHD, and adoption, is my focus of treatment.

Hi, I’m Kate. I work with women who want to take charge of their future by taking charge of their finances. I started She Minds Money because I’m passionate about women ’s empowerment, and I believe that women who take control of their money take control of their lives. My ideal client is someone who wants to better their financial well-being but needs some help getting started. Most traditional financial advice focuses on the outer work of budgeting, saving, and investing. Financial therapy helps you with the inner work of examining your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around money so that you can confidently take action.

I specialize in holistic wellness, devoting my practice to supporting and coaching women through personal growth, healthy living, maternal mental & physical health and parenting support, relationships, career changes, and grief.
Hello! Whatever your intention for therapy, it is important to find a therapist that makes you feel safe, valued, and understood. I believe that my clients are the true guides to their own happiness and destination, resulting in not one specific formula for healing, but rather utilizing each individual's strengths, needs, and interests. I enjoy establishing a conversational atmosphere that is genuine, empathetic, and validating. Through this, I create a safe and nurturing space for self-discovery, self-growth, and healing. My style draws heavily on empathy and mindfulness as well as solution focused and cognitive behavioral therapies.

My practice focuses on female and nonbinary teens and young adults.
Sometimes pain is unavoidable, especially as a teen or young adult. You might be feeling sad, worried, or like no one else in the world understands. Maybe you are struggling in school or work, or having a hard time making friends. Or maybe you are in a difficult family situation, or are completely overwhelmed by what you want your future to be like. You may be noticing things like withdrawing from others or even physically harming yourself. However you are experiencing your pain right now, I welcome the opportunity to work with you to form new patterns and explore the pain that lies underneath your current ones.

*Check class offerings, no new pts* People come to psychotherapy because they are uncomfortable. As a psychologist, my approach is collaborative and supportive, encouraging movement towards greater health, happiness, and ease in life. Often this requires both self-acceptance and the development of skills and resources to change in desired directions. I have an integrative approach that draws on several theoretical models to meet the unique needs and interests of each person, emphasizing mindfulness. My specialties include relationship issues, health and behavioral psychology, substance abuse, trauma, anxiety and mood regulation.

I believe that we are works in progress, having endless possibilities for the direction of our growth. I support clients in finding the potential for growth in challenges, to use creativity and flexibility to work productively with difficulty. I assist clients in developing clarity to identify options and expand the vision of themselves and the world. I encourage them to identify interests and pursue creative activities that help regenerate energy. I promote clients identifying both their strengths and long-held beliefs that limit growth. Developing increased awareness and positive action supports healing and the manifestation of life goals.

The world can be an unsafe place at times, posing many challenges for all of us; even more so amidst a global pandemic.

I provide a warm-hearted safe space and am confident in treating many psychological concerns. My goal in therapy is to help you find solutions to your problems and illuminate resources already available to you. I am especially helpful in areas of life transition, trauma, and grief and loss. You don’t have to do this alone.

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
