Getting to know Katrin Kutlucinar

Seeing me, you may find our sessions to be empowering, challenging, yet comfortable, and at times humorous. You can become energized by the unfolding of your story, and gaining new insights into your thoughts and feelings that no longer work for you. Are you having difficulties adjusting to life with a mental health disorder or struggling to make sense of a traumatic experience?

You can become energized by the unfolding of your story, and gaining new insights into your thoughts and feelings that no longer work for you. Are you having difficulties adjusting to life with a mental health disorder or struggling to make sense of a traumatic experience?
I specialize in mood disorders, psychosis, trauma, and personality disorders. My approach includes EMDR for trauma, Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (ISRT) for bipolar disorder, CBT-P for psychosis, and I am a Certified Trauma Professional. I am also one of the few clinicians in the U.S. trained in Family-Focused Therapy (FFT) for bipolar disorder.
Even when it feels like you’re alone, you don’t have to face this journey by yourself.
As your therapist, I’m here to help you navigate the loneliness and fear that often come with these disorders and traumatic experiences. Together, we will work to build your confidence and resilience so you can regain control of your life.
What should a new client know about working with you?
We are a treatment team but you are the head of this treatment team. We will try different treatment modalities but only work with the ones that fit your unique personality the best. I am trained a various treatment methods so I can accommodate all of my clients. I use an eclectic approach and challenge my clients as much as they would like to be challeneged.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
When first meeting with clients, I spend time working on building rapport and trust. We develop a treatment plan and discuss the different treatment modalities we plan to use to work on each symptom. While we may talk about your week, as that is important to therapy, we also discuss the issues that brought you into therapy and work on mitigating and managing the symptoms that are holding you back.
