Getting to know Kate Fenech

Welcome! If you are overwhelmed from struggling with your feelings, going through a challenging transition, or carrying the weight of your past, I hope that you will consider allowing me to join you on your path to a more balanced life. Starting therapy may be exciting or intimidating—wherever you fall on that spectrum, my goal is to make therapy as accessible and beneficial as possible. In my practice, I prioritize the physical exploration of emotions and memories. Whether through the combination of body responses with talk therapy or allowing the body to express itself without words, clients find a unique space to process their experiences and attain sensations of peace and healing during sessions. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling from San Francisco State University and a Bachelor’s degree from Kenyon College, which have both shaped my approach to supporting clients with compassion and insight.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My hope for clients is to use therapy like a laboratory: a space that is nonjudgmental, exploratory, and experimental. In initial sessions, I typically focus on getting a more complete picture of you and your goals for treatment. If you feel we're a good match, then we'll start tackling whatever brought you to therapy at a pace that works for you. There's no true "normal" or average amount of time that we'll spend working together, but many clients are able to see progress with their most distressing issues within several weeks or a few months. For those who remain in therapy longer, often we move from acute mental health issues such as panic attacks or major depressive episodes onto broader themes like building healthy relationships and finding meaning in life.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
