Kate Sciandra, MA (she/her)
I am a therapist who is accessible, present, fearless, and authentic, currently working toward my license in Marriage and Family Therapy. I bring a lifetime of experiences (and a fondness for metaphors) to the therapy room. I enjoy working with therapy veterans, but also with clients new to therapy who want to feel secure and supported. I use strength based approaches to look forward, while acknowledging the systems that formed our history. I have experience and appreciate working with deep trauma, but am also here for those just feeling overwhelmed.
Previously, I taught and had a practice in neuromuscular re-education for 20+ years. I am an internationally known author and expert in Applied Mindfulness. I am mostly experiential and narrative-based, but with a big, deep toolbox.
I work with individuals and relationships of all kinds. Working from a systemic lens, my focus is on meeting each person where they are, affirming, but straightforward. LGBTQ+, I have a background in, and a passion for art, both making and viewing.
Favorites: kayak, bike, and a good hiking trail. I couldn’t manage without my Indian cookbooks and a wide variety of podcasts.
Specialties: PTSD, trauma, those who have suffered from high control groups & conversion therapy, couples, polyamory, kink, sexuality
