Kate Polk, LMHC-QS

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Qualified Supervisor in the state of Florida. I am also a U.S. Army veteran and single mother of two. I understand firsthand, as a human, how stress, anxiety, and depression related to unresolved trauma and current life stressors can impact our daily lives emotionally, physically, socially, spiritually, and in the way we are able to love ourselves and show up for others. It is my honor to help you regain the renewed peace, wholeness, and joy for your life that you deserve, both in the present and moving into the future. I practice from a person-centered approach, with you as the expert in your life’s journey and me as your guide. Using clinical interventions from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, attachment-based theory, and Jungian theory, I will assist you in identifying, exploring, and processing negative, repeated patterns and behaviors. We will work to understand what triggers them and how they impact your life, and then I will offer ways for you to heal, cope, and manage them so the patterns are no longer repeated and new pathways for peace are established.
