Getting to know Kate Plascencia

Hi, I'm Kate and I am passionate about helping people reach their full potential and live their best life! I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has a certification in drug and alcohol counseling. I have worked in various therapeutic settings including inpatient drug and alcohol treatment as well as primary mental health facilities. I earned my Bachelor's degree from UC Santa Barbara and my Master's degree from Pacific Oaks College in Pasadena, California. I decided I wanted to further my education in addiction studies because of the increasing need of therapists who specialize in addiction and got my drug and alcohol certification. I am passionate about helping people reach their full potential and create a life they want to show up for! I am compassionate, supportive, down to earth and committed to working alongside my clients to reach their goals. I believe all my clients have it within themselves to heal and create a life they are passionate about, and I am here just to guide them on their journey! Asking for help takes courage and I commend you on taking the first step towards healing and fulfillment. I look forward to meeting you and being part of this journey together!
