Immediate openings available! Sometimes we are negatively impacted by situations, identity/relationship challenges, trauma, or other concerns, that are hard to navigate alone. I love working with women, LGBTQ+ folx, and those in alternative relationships (ENM, poly, kink, etc), to help navigate those unique struggles. It's hard being different! And being supported and validated should be non-negotiable. You want to be seen, and accepted, not just tolerated. I get you.

I provide evidence-based treatments/care, but tailored for you. I have certification-level training in trauma therapies, nature based therapy, integrative sex-informed therapy, ketamine-assisted therapy, and a host of mindfulness techniques and interventions, to help you manage and rise above your struggles. Together we will fill your toolbox!

It's a challenge to find and connect with your ideal therapeutic partner, but it is the key, and the first important step. Reaching out to them is the next step. I invite you to join me in a journey of growth, healing and lasting change. I'm looking forward to partnering with you as achieve your therapeutic goals.

You can expect individualized care and treatment goals. Part of your treatment plans may consist of "assignments" such as worksheets, writing prompts/journaling, creative or outdoor experiences, as well as "deep dive" explorations of thoughts and patterns. Because we all learn in different ways, treatment plans must also allow each client to find the best ways to help them achieve their goals.

The therapies I find most beneficial are ones that have been proven to work in research studies. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and as part of that I like to offer "homework" in the form of worksheets, videos, writing prompts, etc. to help change unhelpful patterns. I also try to tie in Nature as in integral part of all treatments, due to its many benefits for a myriad of conditions.

Hosted by

Katerina Philbrick

Join us for an ongoing group focused on YOUR needs. Part psychoeducation, part therapy & coping, part peer support; offering a welcoming space to explore mental health, resilience, and personal well-being in a supportive, empowering environment. We’ll learn about topics like managing stress, emotional wellness, life transitions, illness, loss, loneliness, and more—providing tools for navigating uniques challenges for this life stage, with confidence. This is a working group, so expect a little bit of prep (maybe some reading or worksheets) now and then, but mostly we will learn from each other in real time. Refreshments will be available!
