Kate Pickens, MS
My Approach
As a United States Navy veteran, I have a special interest in working with military veterans but also enjoy working with adults and adolescents with a variety of mental health concerns. As a therapist, I believe the therapeutic relationship is built on trust, honesty, safety, and empathy. I would like to work together to deepen your awareness and understanding of your needs, desires, and patterns of relating, so you may experience a more authentic and fulfilling life. It is my belief that emphasizing your positive traits and behaviors will promote growth, healing, and fulfillment within yourself. I use a holistic approach to help you better understand what your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors mean, and how they relate to your present-day struggles and challenges. I use a combination of mind and body-based approaches such as talk therapy, CBT, CPT, self-compassion, and mindfulness. I look forward to working with you and cannot wait to get started.​
