Kate James

Hello, my name is Kate James and I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist. My goal is to help you navigate where you are, where you have been, and where you want to go. I see client's virtually in the state of CA, and locally in Tehachapi, CA - either in office or via walk and talk therapy. My style is warm, empathic, and person centered. The client's I typically work with struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, parenting, school/career difficulties, grief, trauma, and relational issues. Additionally, I often work with clients who want to further their personal growth and self-understanding.

My background includes working in special education for 10 years, as well as coaching utilizing a personality psychology frame work. I am trained in EMDR and use it often to address issues related to trauma, anxiety, and relational difficulties.

I often utilize personality psychology, which provides specific, in-depth information to assist you in gaining a deeper understanding of who you are at your core, creating awareness of your patterns and ways of interacting in the world. This provides valuable insight into your daily life, relationships with others, and the relationship with yourself.

I want to support you in uncovering who you truly are, healing and becoming whole. I view relationships and connection as an integral part of being human. As children and adults, our relationships profoundly affect us. The therapeutic relationship is no different. I strive to make sure the therapeutic relationship is safe and comforting.
