Kathie Schofield

I have degrees in nursing, public affairs and environmental management, and social work. It is an interesting combination because I have more lenses than just one to view a client's issues. For example, I can understand the health conditions from a medical perspective, any toxicology issues from the environmental perspective such as workplace exposure to volatile organic compounds, and the social work perspective of mental health, social functioning, and community resources. I have worked with depression, adults molested as children, porn addiction, adoption issues, anxiety, life transitions, grief, PTSD, and more. I have done psychotherapy as a licensed clinician since 2002. Prior to that I had experience in mental health as a nurse.

I believe each client is unique. We will discuss your concerns, needs, and goals. Then we will develop a treatment plan using the modalities and theoretical approaches that fit your needs best. I believe in a holistic approach that includes looking at factors such diet, sleep, movement, social engagement, etc. I also believe in a combination of modalities that work synergistically to provide solutions.

Our first session will be discussing what it is that prompted you to seek help. I will listen to your explanation, then ask questions for more understanding of your background, problems, and needs. I will suggest a treatment approach that I think will work for you, and I will answer any questions you have for me.
