Getting to know Katie Avalos

I am passionate about helping adults work through a wide range of life challenges, including relationship concerns, stress (both acute and chronic), anxiety, depression, trauma, and feelings of shame, guilt, or self-doubt. These experiences can often feel isolating and overwhelming, but they are also deeply human responses to difficult circumstances. My work centers on you and your story, creating space to gently explore what is and isn’t serving you, while also helping you better understand what your experiences may be teaching you in this moment of your life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Using evidence-based methods such as CBT, I help clients develop coping strategies, identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building new perspectives that support growth. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based approach that can be especially effective in helping clients process and heal from trauma.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

n our work together, we will move at a pace that feels safe and collaborative, identifying your needs and clarifying what matters most to you. We will set realistic, meaningful, and achievable goals, to help you embrace a more authentic version of yourself and move forward with greater confidence and a deeper sense of inner peace.
