Kathleen Bakos

I've been a psychotherapist since 2021, but before that I was a hairstylist for over 20 years. Between these 2 careers, I've talked to people from all walks of life, races, religions, cultures and socio-economic levels. I've learned to "meet people where they are," without judgement. In therapy, the work is more internal, but still same goal in a way: To look in the mirror at yourself and like or accept what you see. My focus is mostly anxiety, ADHD, and trauma. But I also have personal experience as an adoptive mom of two neurodivergent children.

I use traditional methods connecting attachment, CBT, EMDR, polyvagal theory (somatic) and some IFS "parts work." But I also use sound with crystal singing bowls, tuning forks and drums to soothe anxiety if the client is open to that modality.

I help people identify their needs, navigate obstacles, and get centered, but also send them on their way with the tools to maintain these gains themselves.
