Kathryn Walden, LMHC

Whether you're feeling stuck in the past, living in the future, or too anxious to fully participate in your own life, therapy can help you develop healthier ways of coping, regulate difficult emotions, and become more present in your daily life. I'm Kathryn, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor specializing in complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, stress, and recovery from unhealthy or toxic relationships. I work with adults who are ready to understand why they keep finding themselves in the same painful patterns and want to create meaningful, lasting change. My approach is collaborative, practical, and tailored to your individual needs. I don't believe therapy should follow a one-size-fits-all formula. Together, we'll explore your history, identify the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and build a treatment plan based on your goals, strengths, and what research shows to be effective. Depending on your needs, I incorporate evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, mindfulness-based interventions, and other trauma-informed techniques. Much of my work centers on identifying and changing the self-sabotaging patterns that interfere with the life you want to live. My goal is to help you understand where those patterns came from, learn new ways of responding to life's challenges, and develop the confidence to move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and self-compassion. Clients often tell me they appreciate having a therapist who is genuine, relatable, and willing to provide honest, objective feedback while maintaining a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment. I believe therapy should feel collaborative, not simply a place to talk, but a place to better understand yourself, build practical skills, and create lasting change. If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you with compassion while also helping you challenge old patterns and move toward the life you want, I'd be happy to talk with you about what working together could look like.
