Introduction

I'm Katherine Dachtler, MSW, PhD(c), LCSW, LICSW, an international, transracial adoptee with over 17 years of experience in social services. I founded Dachtler Therapy to provide trauma-sensitive, culturally humble care for individuals, couples, and families ages 8 and up, with particular focus on adoption, identity, belonging, life's challenges and transitions, and trauma recovery. My approach is holistic and strengths-based, drawing on modalities such as EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction to develop a holistic plan that fits you. I'll meet you where you are, help you uncover your strengths, and walk alongside you on your path forward.
