Katherine Tineo-Komatsu

Hi, I'm Katherine. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and EMDR-trained therapist working with adults navigating trauma, substance use, and the long aftermath of carrying too much for too long. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, and I bring a deep respect for how culture, identity, and lived experience shape healing. If you've been holding it together for a while and you're ready for real, focused work, I'd love to meet you.

My approach is integrative, warm, and paced by you. I draw on EMDR, somatic and yoga-based practices, eco-therapy, and harm reduction to help you reconnect with your body, your story, and your own resilience. I work best with adults ready for focused, intentional therapy with clear goals, typically over 12 to 24 months, with a thoughtful plan for what comes after.

Your first session is a real conversation, not a checklist. Before we begin, we'll have a free 15-minute phone consultation to make sure we're a good fit. In our first full session, I'll ask about what brings you in, what's shaped you, and what you're hoping to find here. You'll never be asked to share more than you're ready to share. You can expect a space that's warm, grounded, and unhurried.
