Find a Therapist near Somerset, PA

Hello! I am a clinical psychologist licensed in Pennsylvania. Since 2003, I have been dedicated to helping people live happier, more empowered lives with a sense of personal worth, purpose, and fulfillment. Many people come to therapy because they are hurting and want relief, and that matters deeply to me. But therapy can also be something more: an opportunity for self-discovery, personal growth, and becoming more present and authentic in your everyday life. Whatever brings you here, I consider it a privilege to work alongside you. I am an active, engaged therapist. I know when to listen and when to push, when to sit with you in something difficult, and when to help you explore the patterns that are keeping you stuck. But effective therapy isn’t just about applying fancy clinical techniques or providing psychology lectures; it has to be rooted in a safe, collaborative connection between therapist and patient. In me, you will find someone who takes your experience seriously, respects your values and goals, meets vulnerability with empathy, and is not above finding humor in the human condition.

While my practice, Psychological Healthcare, includes many individuals, my specialty is working with couples. In addition to coping with the stress of everyday life, I have extensive experience helping people with infidelity, boundary issues, family challenges, conflict resolution difficulties, anger management, loss of intimacy, trust issues, parenting disagreements, and blended family challenges. Everyone I work with has a different combination of goals. Whether I am working with an individual or a couple, I strive to help my clients not only achieve their goals, but also live a more fulfilling life. For over 25 years, I have seen many couples begin treatment on the edge of a break-up or divorce and find their way forward. In fact, the vast majority of couples have moved forward with a renewed focus and commitment to each other. For most couples, my approach is to help quickly stabilize the situation, focus on any necessary repair work, build relationship skills, and maintain an ongoing pattern of success.

Are the relationships in your life not all that you want them to be? Relationships can make life worth living, or they can make your miserable. Whether it is a marriage that isn't going well, a parentchild relationship that never seems to work well, or you just seem to find yourself repeating past mistakes over and over again, sometimes we all need help figuring out how to move forward in a new way. I strongly believe in the power of relationships to help heal us and I enjoy working with people to help them make sense of the relationships in their lives.

Everyone comes to a point in their life where they find themselves struggling to reach their potential. Whether this struggle includes feelings of depression or anxiety, or it involves a deeper issue, no one has to go through the struggle alone. Sometimes we go through unexpected changes, whether in our professional life, our personal relationships, or even the state of the world. It is times like these where having the right support matters most. I seek to aid individuals in achieving their potential with many of the tools they already have. I also work with people to recognize thought and behavior patterns that tend to get in the way of them being able to thrive. I draw from the cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, solution-focused, and reality approaches to help overcome life's obstacles. Being in therapy does not automatically mean something is wrong with you. It is simply the process of taking a look at your life, seeing what works, and what does not, and making the necessary changes to propel you forward.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of experience supporting individuals through personal, emotional, and life-transition challenges. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), autism spectrum concerns, and adjustment to life-altering medical diagnoses or transplants. My background includes work in enhanced outpatient settings and individual therapy, supporting a wide range of diagnoses and clinical presentations. I believe therapy is a collaborative journey, and I strive to create a supportive space where clients feel understood, empowered, and guided toward meaningful change.

Kate has 15 years’ experience as a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania. She takes a holistic, eclectic, integrative approach to counseling, with the desire to create a "home base" -- a safe, caring, empathic, and nonjudgmental environment to explore, heal, and reunite the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of who you are. She incorporates traditional evidence-based modalities; wisdom gleaned from broad life experiences; a deep, spiritual relationship with her own humanness; and good old-fashioned common sense. One of Kate’s greatest realizations is that our thoughts and beliefs are not always reliable sources of information. When faced with stress, sorrow, pain, trauma, and tragedy, inaccurate thoughts and beliefs can lead to depression, anxiety, shame, guilt, and unnecessary suffering. This in turn can lead us down distressing paths. Kate commends you for recognizing and accepting that you can't figure it all out by yourself. She desires to help you learn to think clearly and effectively in times of crisis; show courage in the face of trauma; and find humor amid tragedy. She endeavors to help you make sense out of things that just don't seem to make sense.

As a Nurse Practitioner (NP), I’ve practiced in family medicine, wound care, plastic surgery, urgent care, and perioperative and hospital medicine. This broad clinical foundation allows me to approach care holistically, recognizing the connection between physical and mental health. In my psychiatric practice, I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, bipolar, obsessive-compulsive challenges (OCD), posttraumatic stress (PTSD), attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), personality-related challenges, and schizophrenia. I care for clients across the lifespan who may be navigating life transitions, emotional distress, chronic mental health conditions, or seeking greater stability and quality of life.

I believe in meeting each client where they are. There is not one way to help someone resolve a problem in their life. I believe in helping my clients find the right path that works for them and following along beside them to provide wisdom in their lives to take the next steps and make better choices. A mental health professional should go above and beyond for their clients and I believe in this whole heartedly. My motto is "get me in your life and out of your life quickly so that you can live happy!"
