HealthPartners of MN and WI Therapists in Minneapolis, MN

I believe that each person comes to therapy with a unique perspective and set of strengths; and that it is through a combination of tapping into these innate strengths and learning new skills that you can begin to live your best life. As a therapist, I believe my role is to provide you with a supportive and nonjudgmental environment to process life's challenges, to support you in exploring and increasing insight into the impact of these challenges on your everyday life, and to facilitate the learning of new skills and perspectives to address these challenges and improve your life.

I believe that change occurs within healthy, supportive relationships and I work with people to build that in therapy and in their lives. I enjoy partnering with individuals to notice harmful patterns, and to find healing through the cultivation of compassion, self-awareness, tolerance for discomfort, grounding skills and nurturance. I have experience supporting people facing trauma & secondary trauma, grief & loss, complex medical issues, including cancer & infertility, anxiety, depression, interpersonal issues, and life transitions. I am fluent in Spanish and have extensive experience working with Latinx individuals and families

*NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS- March 2022* I am a licensed independent clinical social worker and psychotherapist. I specialize in working with BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) individuals, queer & trans/non-binary individuals, transracial adoptees, as well as others who have experienced individual or community trauma or marginalization.

I believe you are the authority on your own life. Within you exists the potential to express your authentic self and to live a fulfilling life. However, there are times in our lives when we may experience stress, depression, anxiety, anger, or complacency. When this happens it can be difficult to manage our lives effectively and with peace of mind. This is when professional support can be helpful. Whatever concerns you are struggling with, I will collaborate with you to help you identify your goals and develop a treatment approach to empower you to realize them.

I am unable to accept new clients and I do not keep a waitlist. Welcome, I'm Katharine (they/she)! Life can feel really overwhelming sometimes and therapy is a safe space to sort through it all. I view therapy as an affirming process that can be helpful in exploring our life experiences, challenges, successes, and identities. It's important to have a good fit with any therapist so I honor the time you are taking to find a provider that works well with you.

Welcome. The desire to feel seen, heard, and understood is a universal and essential part of human wellness. In my work as a psychotherapist I try to help people understand, both emotionally and intellectually, the deeper roots of their difficulties and reignite their own natural gifts for growth, and resilience. I understand that coming to therapy can be difficult, and I strive to provide a warm, compassionate, and empathetic space for our work together. I am relational in my approach; this means I believe that how well I listen and connect with you matters.

I work with adults 18+ and specialize in trauma and addiction, and have a particular interest in how our childhood experiences impact us as adults. I currently see clients in my office and via telehealth through Catalyst Mental Health.

The extension for my confidential voicemail at Catalyst Mental Health is extension 715.
