Please call me, Koti. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and of trans experience. I am medically transitioning and in the process of legally changing my name.
I have been working in mental health for the last decade. I received my master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Carlow University, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I have worked on inpatient psychiatric units, in residential treatment facilities for children and adults, managed community-based teams with outpatient programs and HIV/LGBT specific treatment providers. I have experience across a range of diagnoses and life circumstances. First and foremost, I am here to be nonjudgmental, create a safe space for you and treat you with dignity and respect, regardless of what you may present.
I cultivated my therapeutic style from my experience utilizing Person Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Existential Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. I understand that each person responds differently to treatment modalities. I will work with you to determine what works best in terms of your definition of success.
I am looking forward to the opportunity of working with you!

Kathryn is very down to earth and easy to talk to. She has a wide knowledge base and is therefore able to help with a range of challenges those seeking therapy may face. I would highly recommend Kathryn as she offers a friendly service and always responds to messages as soon as she's available.
