Getting to know Dr. Kathrine O'Dowd

For over twenty years, I've worked in both clinical and non-clinical settings that have equipped me with unique skills in understanding a variety of people. I hold a PhD in Psychology from the University of Southern California and a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from California State University, Dominguez Hills. Not only have I worked as a psychotherapist, but I have also served as a researcher, professor, project director, and program manager. I have the knowledge necessary to understand parents, college students, single mothers, C-suite leaders, tech start-up employees, emerging adults, and many others who are seeking to discover their mission in life. My goal is to earn my clients' trust by demonstrating the expertise, experience, and compassion that each person deserves in a therapist.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I've done early work in community mental health and adult education, while my later leadership roles in public orgs and private corporations gave me insight into what people experience across all levels of a business. My PhD supported my research and allows me to currently serve as university instructor, and my license has now opened the door to my practice.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My LinkedIn recommendations speak to my character: I am curious of, not intimidated by and able to talk deeply with all types of people. My goal is to provide therapy to anyone willing to challenge themselves, and be challenged by a caring therapist who is no stranger to struggle. I commit to being open to any kind of way a person wants to live their life.
