Dr. Dr. Katherine SouzaLMFT

I bring expertise in working with adults and adolescents on a variety of anxiety concerns, depression, and grief which can relate to losses of many kinds such as death, divorce or separation, career, and physical ability. I work with couples who want to resolve conflict, improve communication and intimacy, deal with infidelity, learn how to argue, and better understand one another.

My approach is holistic with attention to the mental /emotional self, the physical self, and the spiritual self. I am accepting, validating and encouraging. I engage with a solution focused, positively oriented work style. I also find looking at meaning and purpose supports resolution of some concerns.

The most important component is the relationship between the client and myself. Research has found that when the relationship is strong positive outcomes result. I provide genuine support and respect with a thorough understanding of concerns. I have been successful in finding paths for improvement.
