Therapists in Swiftwater, PA

I'm Dr. Kate Ferrari and am here to assist you with difficulties you may be encountering in your life through a compassionate, non-judgmental approach. Regardless of the problems you are experiencing, my goal is to provide support, work with you to set goals for your future and develop tools to reach them. I believe in a holistic perspective to mental well-being, and am a proponent of neurodiversity, who will help you on your personal path towards the life you would like to live. Please note that all services are provided virtually and are tailored to fit your individual needs.

From an early age, I knew I wanted to be a therapist growing up with an emotionally immature mother who struggled with addiction. I learned to distinguish between her issues and my own, but despite this awareness, I couldn't escape internalizing her insecurities. In my early teens, I went to my first therapist for depression. I will always remember the jar of cheerios on his desk labeled “Bagel Seeds!” Therapy helped me navigate various situations such as coming out and the sudden loss of my father. I deeply believe in the power of therapy to change lives.

I am a clinical psychologist and primarily work with people experiencing difficulties in the areas of anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression and life transitions. While each client is different, I generally view the circumstances that bring an individual into therapy as often due to a combination of factors, such as current life stressors, biological influences, and the impact of family & other important relationships.

I work with individuals, couples and groups from a perspective of harm reduction, systemic awareness and cultural humility. Many people who work with me identify as having one or more of the following conditions: PTSD, C-PTSD, trauma (individual, legacy, systemic), depression, anxiety, addictions (substance or process), OCD, bipolar disorder, developmental disorders, chronic pain, and relationship issues. I am comfortable working with people of all ages.

Life is often stressful. Modern life keeps moving, even when we might really need a moment to reflect and connect. In my practice, I hope to offer children, adolescents, young adults, and families time to pause and process their experiences. In the pause, we might find new paths and connections to forge. I support clients experiencing anxiety disorders (GAD, OCD, Social Anxiety, etc.), mood disorders (depression, adjustment disorders, etc.), neurodiversity, family conflict, stress management concerns, and aid parents in need of support.

I love working with teens and adults who are tired of feeling trapped by their eating disorder, hate what they see when they look in the mirror, or are exhausted by their OCD. I aim to empower my clients to channel their inner resiliency and heal from within.

People often come to therapy with a precise problem to address, and sometimes people come to therapy with a general sense that they are not living their lives in a way that feels right or true. Therapy is useful in many circumstances; it’s an opportunity to understand and change painful patterns, to treat a mental health disorder, to heal from previous trauma, to process the impact of oppression, to mobilize oneself when feeling “stuck," and so much more. Whatever your reason for seeking treatment, I believe that therapy can help you create a life that holds more joy, connection, and purpose.
