Getting to know Kathryn Alrutz

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Are you noticing past experiences or current anxieties preventing you from reaching your goals? I would be honored to help you move forward in your journey. I’m a therapist specializing in the treatment of anxiety, relational stress, and trauma. I specialize in religious trauma, but work with many individuals who have experienced a range of other types of trauma. I want therapy to be a space that works for you- I consider myself a collaborator in therapy; where you are an expert in your own experiences and needs. I consider it an honor to act as a therapist and would love to have the opportunity to work together! As your therapist, I am committed to creating an authentic and collaborative space. I specialize in Acceptance Commitment Therapy, using a somatic trauma-informed approach. In other words, I focus on meeting you where you are, providing practical tools to assist you in reaching your goals, in addition to facilitating opportunities to reflect on your past experiences and desired growth. Understanding and treating religious trauma requires knowledge in a wide range of issues, including interpersonal relationships, family dynamics, sexuality, and complex trauma. This wide range of experience has helped me work not only with religious trauma survivors, but with many others who have not come from religious backgrounds, but want to address other issues I have expertise in. If you find yourself battling low motivation, low self-esteem, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, or sadness, you are not alone and there is help available. My approach is to address the short-term, urgent issues, in order to start identifying patterns and move towards longer-term goals. For those working through traumatic memories, relationships, or experiences, my approach is to help you understand the effects trauma brings up in your life, and foster the skills and self-compassion needed to start moving forward.
