Kat Grau

Welcome! Whether you are coming to therapy with a specific goal in mind or simply seeking a space to feel heard and supported, I would be honored to be part of your journey. Our experiences deeply shape how we relate to ourselves and others. Early adversity, trauma, self-criticism and negative messages from others can thwart our natural tendency towards growth. Therapy can provide a safe environment to work through challenges and enhance growth. As a therapist, I try to help people access and process difficult feelings, develop self-compassion and self-care, and deepen their connection with themselves and others.

For the past five years, I’ve supported individuals navigating a wide-range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, self-loathing, grief and trauma. I have specialized training and experience supporting individuals healing from painful and abusive relationship dynamics, childhood trauma, relationship loss, and sexual abuse/violence.

My approach is to combine a safe therapeutic relationship with evidence-based approaches that together help to relieve symptoms while also fostering greater self-understanding, meaning, and wholeness. Please don't hesitate to reach out to set up a free fifteen-minute consultation or an initial session.

In your first session, we will get to know each other and explore your hopes for therapy. I take a relational-approach informed by evidence-based practice. I am trained in EMDR, ACT, and CPT. I also draw from mindfulness, attachment theory, and a trauma-informed lens to guide or work. Together, we will work to define your goals and create a plan that supports your growth and healing.
