Getting to know Katherine Eldean
It takes a lot of courage to pursue this step on your healing pilgrimage. I congratulate you on starting this process and am confident it will be a very meaningful journey. I specialize in working with individuals navigating trauma, life transitions, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, addictions, and Bipolar Disorder. A few of my specialties are Christian Faith-Based Counseling, EMDR, and Trauma Informed Care. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. I welcome you to reach out whenever you feel ready to begin. I’m here to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can be your authentic self.
I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and EMDR to help you identify and reprocess traumatic memories and maladaptive thought patterns, and coping mechanisms. This approach is very collaborative and gives you tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. My style is very warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental. Based on your unique needs, I may adapt my approach to include practices like art therapy, mindfulness, and meditation. Your goals and progress are my primary focus. Together, we’ll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward with confidence and grace.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Have you been struggling with traumatic memories, coping skills that no longer serve you, or a self-image that is wounded and lacking confidence? I work with teens and adults (18+) who are managing trauma, depression, anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, life transitions, and those seeking support for grief and loss. Whether you’re working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring your personal goals, I’ll work with you to create a growth plan that feels empowering and achievable.
I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic and collaborative partner. I exercise clear boundaries when starting and ending sessions on time and honor you and your schedule. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My journey into therapy began with a sincere understanding of the human experience and a deep love and compassion for people. I knew from a very young age that I wanted to be a "Doctor of the heart". During my graduate training, I had the opportunity to work with survivors of trauma and addiction. This experience showed me the powerful role therapy can play in recovery and solidified my commitment to supporting others through their healing journeys. I’m continually driven by the fundamental belief that everyone has the potential for positive growth and transformation. Seeing my clients gain confidence and find peace makes my work incredibly rewarding.
I believe that therapy is a collaboration. Together, we’ll identify and set goals that matter to you, whether they focus on healing trauma, improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective. As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights. We can adapt our plan at any time to ensure it’s always meaningful and relevant to you. I’m here to provide you with the support and tools you need to continue to move closer to where you want to be, even when things feel challenging.
Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We’ll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. Therapy is a journey, and we’ll continue to build our work together over time. It’s completely normal to feel nervous or anxious about your first appointment. We’ll take it one session at a time, and I’m here to guide you through each step of the process.
