I'm Dr. Katherine Shachar, a licensed clinical psychologist and Newport Beach native who has been helping people here for over 25 years. I work with preteens, teens, adults and seniors, in individual, couples, family and group therapy.
Daytime appointments are available, and I also offer concierge sessions in the evenings and on weekends by arrangement.
People come to me for anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and family stress, life transitions, and the emotional side of living with a health condition. My doctorate is in clinical and health psychology, so I pay close attention to how the mind and body affect each other.
My style is warm, curious and practical. I blend proven tools like CBT, EMDR and mindfulness with deeper work on where patterns began, so you feel relief now and see lasting change. In our first session we'll talk about what's weighing on you, what you'd like to be different, and a plan to get there.
