Kathleen Joseph

I'm Kathleen, and I am a mental health counselor and trained Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) that helps people to heal trauma using a blend talk therapy and embodiment practices. My approach is trauma-informed, meaning I prioritize your safety and empowerment throughout our work together. I am trained in various modalities, including somatic therapy for releasing trauma held in the body and regulating the nervous system, Internal Family Systems (IFS) for understanding your inner world with compassion, and talk therapy to explore emotional patterns and self-beliefs. I also offer psychoeducation to help you better understand anxiety, stress, and trauma. My ultimate goal is to support you on your personal journey towards healing, growth, and overall well-being.

My approach to therapy is to create a safe and empowering space using a trauma-informed lens to facilitate healing and growth. I draw upon several modalities, including somatic therapy for trauma release and nervous system regulation, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to compassionately explore your inner world. These are integrated into talk therapy to help you understand emotional patterns and self-beliefs. Additionally, I offer psychoeducation about anxiety, stress, and trauma to support your commitment to change.

Clients can expect to gain a deeper sense of safety and empowerment in understanding themselves and their experiences. Through our sessions, you can anticipate releasing stored trauma and regulating your nervous system using somatic techniques, as well as gaining compassionate insight into your inner world with IFS. You'll learn to identify and explore your emotional patterns and self-beliefs within our talk therapy sessions, fostering more fulfilling ways of relating to yourself and others. Furthermore, you can expect to receive helpful information about anxiety, stress, and trauma to support your ongoing growth and well-being. Ultimately, you can expect to be supported on your journey towards healing and lasting positive change.
