Katherine Pine, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

I have an entertainment background and bring a creative perspective to my work as a therapist. I provide a non-judgmental environment with insight, empathy, and humor. I offer tools to help you communicate and cope effectively so as to access joy in your life and overcome blocks to finding success, personally and professionally. I provide you with a nurturing space where you can create positive change and discover what works for you. I believe that healing can be found in a safe therapeutic environment, where the relationship itself, the modeling and interaction, can be a profound instrument for change. If you are sad, anxious, irritable, short fused, feeling trapped, stuck, confused, experiencing suicidal thoughts, struggling with memories of past abuse or simply feeling, "blah", I work to help you manage your feelings more effectively and mitigate the pain that has stopped you from being present in your life. So stop, and take a deep breath. That alone, can be a helpful first step :). I work with teens, adults and with couples. I believe for all of us, it is important to look at how we learned to cope as children. In dismantling those old and unhelpful behaviors that don't serve you in the present, together we can create a space that allows you to actively listen and effectively communicate with compassion. I believe we all need to work on reparenting ourselves and to be able to provide our inner children with what we didn't get from our own parents. In order to do this, we need to take our parents off the pedestal and look at what needs of ours weren't met and why. This allows us to identify our needs and then communicate them effectively to our parents, our partners andor support circles. In learning about who you are, you can help yourself and others understand how you operate, and in turn, you can live a more harmonious life with yourself and those around you.
