I completed my APA-accredited pre-doctoral internship at the Institute of Living, in Hartford, Connecticut, and my APA-accredited post-doctoral residency at Kaiser Permanente, in San Rafael, California. I have worked in a variety of settings, including community mental health clinics, public schools, and an in-patient psychiatric unit (Hartford Hospital).

I have taught classes on assertiveness, job interviewing, effective communications, emotional regulation, and mindfulness.

I believe that the answers are here within us, and real change is possible when we have real support and guidance. As a therapist, I approach my work with radical acceptance and deep respect for the unique and ingenious resilience that each person possesses. Through collaborative processes of self-exploration and compassionate self-awareness, clients are able to heal past wounds, move toward what they care about, and experience more connectedness, fulfillment, wellbeing, and joy. My current orientation and training is primarily focused on Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), a mindful and embodied approach to healing. I accompany people in a range of life experiences, including: * trauma * confidence * self-esteem * relationships and intimacy * embodying authentic sexual and gender identities * personal growth * anxiety * depression * obsessions, compulsions, and addictions * unlocking creativity * grief and loss * improving communication * spirituality * parenting, co-parenting, or blending families * navigating conflict * mindful separations * cultivating trust and resilience. I work with individuals and couples in English and Spanish. I invite you to contact me for a free, 20-minute phone consultation. For more information about me, please visit my website: kateramsey.com

I believe that our moments of greatest struggle can also hold the most potential for growth and self-discovery. By giving ourselves a supportive space to explore the places that feel painful or stuck, we open ourselves to a wealth of information about our deepest desires, strengths, and wisdom. This makes it possible to live with greater self-compassion, freedom in our actions, and ease in our relationships. Whether you are navigating a significant life transition, suffering from anxiety, depression, or trauma, I am dedicated to providing a safe and respectful space to embark on this journey. I offer psychotherapy for individual adults and teens. I also offer specialized services for prenatal/postpartum women, and therapy to support parents and young children age 0-5. Understanding the poignance and importance of this period, I spent much of my early training studying how to best support early parent-child relationships. I'm a Certified EMDR Therapist. EMDR is a highly effective treatment for trauma that greatly accelerates the healing process. I am also a Level 2 trained Internal Family Systems therapist and I am working towards certification. I Find IFS a highly effective therapy for symptom relief and self integration. And I love using it with clients.
