Hey lovely humans, I'm Kat (they/them). I'm a Twin Cities based Queer and gender expansive provider. I am a white-bohemian, able bodied provider. I am a sex, kink, bdsm and body positive provider. I own that my lens as a white, able bodied individual impacts how I take up space in the world and the therapy setting. I obtained my Master's of Science in Clinical Social Work from the joint program of University of St. Thomas and St. Catherine University in 2018.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
We will have four tasks to complete: 1. Get to know each other and what brought us to therapy 2. Review consent, safety and expectations for visits (time, cost) 3. Complete initial paperwork/documentation for diagnostic assessment (DA) 4. Establish a plan (may include continuing visits or other recommendations)
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My insight and ability to normalize the human experience are qualities that allow folks be themselves. My curiosity and openness motivates me to establish the best use of my skills when working with folks.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am best positioned to work with both folx within the LGBTQIA+ community and those who are supporting the community like parents, caregivers, siblings of, partners, fiancé, friends, children, etc.). I tend to see individuals who are neuro-diverse (experience Autism and ADD/ADHD), have a conduct disorder, criminal record, complex trauma, experience adoption, or are a foster child/adolescent.
