Katrina Watts

I'm a Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience. I specialize in the treatment of trauma, PTSD, criminal victimization and perpetration and crisis intervention. Much of my work considers the effects of gender socialization, microaggressions, discrimination, social inequality and the stress that women and men face in their daily lives.

Outside of session, you'll usually find me running, on a yoga mat or watching basketball. I believe that cooking and gardening are special kinds of therapy.

I'm warm and direct. You'll get honesty from me, while also feeling supported and understood. My passion is to promote healing and inner peace.

I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy and rational emotive behavior therapy to help you notice the thoughts driving how you feel. We can talk about solution focused strategies when you want to address something specific. Positive psychology keeps us looking at your strengths, not only at what hurts.

Mostly, I tailor the work to your needs and goals.

The first session is mostly a conversation. I'll ask what brought you in and what you're hoping changes. I'll want to hear some of your history, but you set the pace on what you share and when.
