Kathryn Starratt, LICSW
About me
I am Kathryn Starratt and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in New Hampshire. I have over twenty years of experience working with a variety of people, including adults, couples, families, adolescents, children and groups. My professional growth has been advised by my work in Emergency Services, Community Mental Health and work with families formed from adoption and foster care.
Whether working with families or individuals, I provide a non-judgmental, caring, safe and respectful environment for individuals to find their authentic self. I have a firmly held belief that each person is a thoroughly unique being with potential for remarkable growth. I believe in a person-centered approach and have time, and time again, seen the resilience of spirit in people who have honored me with their trust and vulnerability.
I believe that 100% of people could benefit from counseling at some point in their life. Traumatic events, loss, relationship issues, work stress, family conflict, and life transitions can be just some of the shared experiences in life that cause stress, anxiety and depression. How we experience these events is unique to us as individuals. Therapeutic approaches can include strength-based modalities, cognitive behavioral approaches, solution focused therapy, psychoeducation, trauma focused therapy as well as life experience informed common sense. And one should never ignore the benefits of generous amounts caring and humor.
I am eager to journey with you on your path of discovery and healing!

Kathryn is very easy to talk to and doesn't make you feel like your feelings are not valid. She always has the clients best interest at heart! I should know, I have followed her from one one agency to another - being connected for over 10 years, I will never go to another counselor ever 🥰

I recently had the pleasure of having sessions with Kathryn, I can't recommend her highly enough. From the very first session, it was clear that she creates a welcoming and supportive environment. She's incredibly easy to talk to, which made opening up about my thoughts and feelings feel natural and comfortable.
What stands out most is her ability to listen thoughtfully. She truly takes the time to understand not just what I'm saying, but also the emotions behind my words. Her objective perspective has been valuable; she offers insights that are both practical and meaningful, helping me navigate my challenges with clarity.
Each session leave me feeling heard and empowered, and I appreciate her commitment to helping me. If you're looking for a therapist who is genuinely invested in your well-being, I whole heartedly recommend her. She has significant positive impact on my life.

I started working with Kathryn while I was struggling with anxiety among other things after a bad car accident. Her thoughtful advice and kind humor have been so helpful through that and so much more.
