Getting to know Kaitlyn Willsey

Kate Willsey, LMSW, is a therapist at North Salem Psychotherapy who works with adolescents, young adults, women, and couples navigating the effects of trauma, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. She holds a deep belief that healing happens when clients feel safe enough to be fully themselves. Kate specializes in childhood and attachment trauma, anxiety, depression, people-pleasing, chronic self-blame, religious trauma, and codependency. In therapy, she offers a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients are encouraged to come exactly as they are while gently exploring patterns and experiences that no longer serve them. Her approach is trauma-informed and integrative, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic and body-based work, attachment theory, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Kate helps clients slow down, tune into what’s happening beneath the surface, and develop greater awareness, regulation, and self-compassion. Together, clients learn to understand and relate differently to the protective parts that formed in response to past experiences. Kate’s style blends thoughtful reflection with practical tools, allowing clients to leave sessions with both insight and strategies they can apply in daily life. She is also passionate about creativity, emotional health education, and exploring questions of meaning and purpose when relevant. Kate strives to make therapy a warm, collaborative process—a place where healing feels grounded, supportive, and human.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Working with Kate is collaborative, trauma-informed, and paced with care. She understands that beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when past trauma is part of your story, and she prioritizes creating a sense of safety and trust from the start. Sessions move at a pace that feels supportive rather than rushed. Kate integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic and body-based work, attachment theory, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Together, you’ll slow down to notice emotional patterns, body responses, and protective parts that developed in response to earlier experiences. The focus is not on fixing yourself, but on building awareness, regulation, and self-compassion. Clients can expect a balance of reflection and practical tools to support emotional regulation, boundaries, and everyday coping. Kate offers a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can show up as you are and work toward healing in a way that feels grounded, thoughtful, and human.
