Kathleen Palma

Hi there, Hello, I’m Kathy! My name is Kathy Palma, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I live in Santa Monica, California, but I work with clients all across the state via Telehealth. I work with adults and adolescents 15 years and over, specializing in anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, and relationships. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Positive Psychology, and a Psychodynamic approach to help my clients discover their inner strengths so they can increase their sense of well-being.

My approach to therapy depends on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Positive Psychology, as both modalities help identify and cultivate an individual’s strengths, which can lead to finding meaning and purpose in life.

During our first session together, we can start to get to know each other, with both of us asking questions to better understand your reasons for seeking therapy. This session can give us an initial connection and help me get a sense of what I need to plan your unique therapy.
