Kate D'Orazio, MA, LPCC, NCC

APPROACH I prioritize building a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship, focusing first on coping strategies and regulation techniques. My trauma-informed approach integrates Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and mindfulness to help you understand your emotions, inner parts, and reactions. Once you feel comfortable, we'll explore how your past influences your present experiences. It’s an honor to help you navigate your toughest challenges. TRAUMA Do you feel disconnected from yourself, unsure of what you want out of life? Do you find yourself reacting intensely to others' conflicts? These are common responses to trauma that I can help you understand and heal. COUPLES I work with all couples—heterosexual, LGBTQIA+, monogamous, and non-monogamous. Together, we'll focus on fostering compassion, curiosity, and connection instead of blame and reactivity. FAMILIES/ADOPTION With extensive research in designing training programs to foster family connectedness, I specialize in supporting families formed through adoption. I can help you understand the roots of challenging behaviors and guide you toward more connected ways of addressing them. KETAMINE-ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY (KAP) If you feel stuck working through the same issues for too long, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy may offer a new perspective and a boost toward lasting change. We can work together to determine if KAP is right for you (individuals and couples). *Set up a free consultation today to see if we would be a good fit* BACKGROUND I completed my undergraduate degree in Health Care Management in 2009, then took time to stay home with my three children.
