More about Katherine
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I have an undergraduate degree in political science with a focus on human rights from Simon's Rock College of Bard. I earned a masters in counseling with a focus on trauma studies and marginalized communities from Lesley University. I am currently licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a LMHC. I began my career in human services as a teenager and have worked as a tutor, coach, big sister, caseworker, clinician and program coordinator in various agencies. I have experience in both urban and rural communities. In the past decade, I have worked in schools, residential programs, detention facilities, outpatient clinics, urgent care/crisis centers, emergency rooms and veterans programs. I approach my work with the belief that life is often difficult and overwhelming, but we all have the ability to heal and recover with the right support, guidance and resources. I use a range of therapies including DBT, CBT, trauma counseling, grief counseling, mindfulness and client centered therapy, as well as connecting clients to appropriate resources in their community.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She’s great! I appreciate our time together
Kate is awesome! I have been working with her for a year and a half and have had a lot of major life changes as well as family struggles that we have worked through together. She is kind and patient and gives a listening ear. Therapy is one major thing I decided to do for myself and I am learning about how important self care is through therapy and the tools in order to accomplish self care
I have been in therapy with Kate since January so for 10 months and it's the first time I have gone into therapy for myself for an extended period of time and taken control of my mental health. I really like Kate, she has a similar style to myself and is funny but takes my issues seriously and we problem solve how I can deal with serious situations. I have never felt talked over or belittled for my problems and its a good step for me as I navigate my early 20s
Katherine is amazing. She is so easy to talk to and very relatable. She makes my session go by so fast as I find it incredibly easy to talk to her. I am always writing to her and she gets back to me and offers feedback on what I have to say and I know that I can depend on her and her feedback.
Katherine always listens to me and talks me through situations that usually make me anxious so calmly. When I talk to her I don’t feel like I’m talking to a therapist. It’s more like a conversation with someone in your life you’ve known for a while and can trust.
Katherine is extremely knowledgeable, listens and engages. She is also very flexible with appointments.

Kate has been a great help. In my time throughout therapy my life has been thrown a whole bunch of curveballs and with time and the help of Kate I was able to overcome those obstacles and better myself mentally and physically.
