Katherine (Kate) Maurer

There are times for many of us when life no longer feels workable. The stress of life changes, work, or study becomes overwhelming. You might feel unable to find connection, joy, or a sense of purpose in your life, frozen by the pain of your past or uncertainty about your future. You withdraw into numbness or despair, caught in patterns that you can’t seem to break and unable to fully connect with the people and the world around you. Perhaps anxious thoughts and behaviors nag and exhaust you, driving you further from the things that you value. It feels like your own mind has become an enemy. As a therapist, I focus on creating a safe and accepting space for clients to heal. I work with depression, anxiety, trauma, and other concerns in adults, college students, and adolescents 14+. I am EMDR trained and use this tool to aid recovery from trauma. I am also a climate-aware therapist attuned to climate anxiety and grief. I want to empower you to manage your pain, tell more helpful stories about yourself, and find healing, meaning, and purpose. I believe that there is no one right answer to the problem of being human, and that my role is to help you find your best answers.
