About me

"If I knew the questions to ask to get the information I need, I would have already asked".
"Not everyone is a master in every aspect of their life"

I am here to help! My name is Kate Murphy and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has been practicing for 39 years.
I feel very honored when people trust me with their most inner, personal thoughts and feelings with the hope that I will be able to assist them in reaching their goals.

To this end, I believe I can. I am trained in CBT, DBT, EFT, Gestault, Client-Centered, Schema, Trauma focused, Solution-focused, Reality Therapy. I also am trained in EMDR and Exposure Therapy, That being said, people today are very busy and don't have years to find the answers we wanted yesterday. I most commonly use Solution-focused therapy as most people have arrived at a life enhancing solution and can get on living a life they want within 12 or less sessions. This style is successful for resolving anger, communication, decision-making, parenting, relationship issues, addictions, and many more. I give homework assignments each week, if you are willigng which will allow you to practice the techniques and skills we discussed in session. The following week we review how the skills worked for you and continue if your results were positive. I also frequently want you to evaluate your satisfaction with my services, so that I can meet your expectations as you are the driver of your services.

How do you know who is the right fit for you with hundreds of clinicians to choose from? I believe all individuals can be in a better place after connecting with a clinician. If you like someone you believes in your success, who has a sense of humor, who takes the common sense approach to resolution, use clear and easy to understand techniques, I am that clincian.

I am very excited to work with you and together, a Fantastic future awaits your arrival!

Sincerely and Respectfully,
Kate

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Katherine Murphy. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

I have worked with her for the last couple of weeks and she really helped me. I have been going through some things lately in my life and she let me talk and give me tools to help myself get better. I highly recommend better help and her as a therapist.

Written on Jan 04, 2022 after therapy with Katherine for 1 month on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, self esteem, anger management, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and adhd

Katherine Murphy has been a pleasure to work with. She responds very quickly and was able to work with my schedule and accommodate various technical difficulties. We have only met a couple of times but she listened to me, validated my experiences and is supporting my healing. I am so grateful.

She has a lot of good experience, relates well to me, and provides good tools for dealing with the problem. I feel comfortable talking with her.
