Katherine Najarian

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in working with adults who are struggling with issues related to anxiety, depression, relationships, family of origin, identity and stress. Right now, I offer telehealth therapy for folks in Maine and Massachusetts and my schedule is flexible so please don't hesitate to reach out about additional availability. I help my clients by creating a collaborative and affirming space to gain skills, process experiences, and grow. When we find ways to adapt to overwhelming emotions, process our most unpleasant feelings and offer understanding and compassion to all the messy parts of ourselves, we can begin to navigate life's challenges effectively with confidence and joy.

My practice is rooted in a psychodynamic framework but I use a variety of strategies and theoretical approaches which allow me to tailor my practice to your unique needs. I typically pull from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) modalities.

In our first few sessions, you can expect increased self awareness which can help uncover your true desires and allow you to take actions in your life that align with your deepest held values. I would sincerely look forward to collaborating with you to find ways to reach your goals as I believe everyone deserves to live the life they want to live.
