Dr. Kathryn Rickard
Introduction
I am a licensed psychoanalytic psychologist and author of *The Psychoanalytic Anatomy of Surrender: Breaking Through the Inner Structures That Inhibit Aliveness*. With more than twenty-five years of clinical experience, I work with adults seeking a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships, and the emotional patterns that shape their lives. Many people come to therapy because they find themselves repeating the same difficulties in relationships, work, self-esteem, or emotional life despite their best efforts to change. My approach emphasizes free association—the process of speaking openly about whatever comes to mind. Through this exploration, unexpected connections often emerge, leading to greater self-understanding and creating new possibilities for growth, freedom, and change. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, professional burnout, and questions of identity and purpose. I am licensed in Vermont and APIT certified through PsyPACT, allowing me to provide telepsychology services across participating PsyPACT states.
