Hello, thanks for reaching out. My name is Kate. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked with clients in therapy for 16 years. The clients I have seen have been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and Bipolar Disorder. I provide a warm, caring environment where people can look at past hurts/trauma, current life situations and changes/losses, relationship issues, self-esteem issues and their own questioning/wondering about life’s meaning and their own goals. I tend to use a client centered strengths based approach, helping the client obtain the healing in the areas of their life where they feel stuck. During this process, I use grief work, helping clients with coping skills, communication skills, setting needed boundaries, self-esteem work, and lowering stressors. My goal with you is to help you heal and meet your own goals and find your own sense of meaning. I look forward to working with you.

From the moment I had my first session. Dr. Bondura made me feel extremely comfortable. She is very easy to talk to. She helps me to look at my issues in a different way, and how to break things down for me to handle things easier. I have learned to relax and realize I am a very strong woman. I thank you Dr. Bondura you are a healer and a friend.

Kathryn has helped me with issues that I originally needed help with and then helped me with things I didn't even think to even mention!

She is an absolutely incredible therapist. I struggled to find someone that I felt comfortable speaking to, and after multiple tries at therapy, I am so thankful to have found Kathryn. She is so helpful, and really provided me with excellent tools for managing anxiety, and working towards a happy and manageable daily life.

Kathryn was extremely kind and helpful! I would highly highly recommend her to anyone. She is a really good listener but also tells me what I need to hear not just want I want to hear. She’s helped me work through a lot and given me great tips and tools to continue working on my stuff. I can tell she is very well experienced. Thanks Kathryn!!

Kathryn came to me as my therapist at a point of time in my life where I wasn’t sure where I was heading. She was great to work with. Unfortunately due to a move on my end I need to change but I am at a place where I feel more confident about going ahead with having the time I had spent with her. She’s amazing and I would recommend her to anyone.

Kathryn is truly wonderful to work with. She creates a comfortable environment for you to open up in and helps you leave each session with practical takeaways, which I often think back to and use to ground and center myself outside of our sessions.

Kathryn has been of great help working through some of the underlying causes of my anxiety.
Written on Jun 23, 2021 after therapy with Kathryn for 1 month on issues concerning depression, and stress, anxiety
I had considered staring therapy for years, but 2020 and a short-but-unhealthy relationship tipped that quickly into the realm of needing help. Without knowing what to expect, I went into the first meeting rather skeptical that it would be a good use of money. Almost immediately, I could tell that it was worth it. Kathryn was able to listen, understand the core aspects behind what I was saying, and return feedback in an incredibly eye-opening manner. She went beyond just helping in the moment and took it to a much more educational level that could be used for the rest of my life. My last session was today after thirteen weeks and I have a whole new set of tools to help me live with a much, much, much healthier mindset than I had a few months back. Although this is my first experience seeing a therapist, I can say with full confidence that the person who will be filling my spot is lucky to be placed with Kathryn.

Kathryn is a excellent clinician that really listens.
Written on Apr 19, 2021 after therapy with Kathryn for 6 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, grief, and coping with life changes
Kathryn is pure gold. I am so grateful to have been paired with her. Her skills and prior experience are very aligned to what I was seeking help with, and she has a wonderful way of making my concerns and challenges seem manageable. Her tangible, practical advice, combined with her personality and non-judgemental approach to therapy are just a few reasons why I would recommend her to a friend.

I have been in therapy for many years but Kathryn is one of the best therapists I've had. She has a warm and gentle spirit and is very easy to talk to. She provides a good mix of honesty and comfort during difficult times which I have appreciated a lot during the pandemic. Additionally, Kathryn has an innate ability to look at both the big picture of your life and the tiny details -- she will really commit herself to understanding you and your past. I think Kathryn would be a great fit for anyone, but you should definitely consider working with her if you want someone to listen attentively and provide genuine feedback of your thoughts in a supportive manner. Also, she will always ask you what you take away at the end of the meeting which is helpful to solidifying your progress. She is simply the best and I am very thankful for our time working together.

I truly believe that Kathryn is hands-down the best counselor for many different types of people. Not only is she an outstanding giver of advice, but she is most likely the best listener that I have come in contact with. I have never felt as though I have wasted a minute of my time with Kathryn receiving irrelevant information/advice because she is such a good listener that she usually understands your situation after hearing it for the first time. She is very invested in her clients and easily gives 100% into her sessions. Not once has she ever been late to our sessions, but rather 5-10 minutes earlier than our agreed start time. She is very, very responsive if you message her, and understanding if sessions need to be moved. She makes time for her clients and tailors her schedule to their needs. Kathryn is extremely insightful and provides you with advice that is not generic but actually helpful and applicable. She is humorous, friendly, warm, and a very hard worker. I would not hesitate to book sessions with Kathryn if you are looking for someone who is reliable, thoughtful, understanding, flexible, and accommodating, this counselor is just the one for you!

Great and tries to even work around my work shedual
Written on Jan 05, 2021 after therapy with Kathryn for 3 months
I have had about two months of sessions with Kathryn and we have made great progress together. She is really warm and also honest, which is necessary, even when you don’t want to hear it. I have been in therapy for three years now, but I still learn new things about myself and new techniques to use to cope with my mental illness, as well as navigating relationships with family and friends. She’s been wonderful to work with. She remembers what we talk about week by week and is pretty darn good at listening, as well as effectively communicating what she recognizes in me and the things I bring to her to talk through. She always ends with asking me what’s one thing I’m gonna take away from our session. Thanks Kathryn!
