Katherine McMorran, Ph.D.

I am a clinical psychologist in Boston, offering individual psychotherapy to adults (18+). I help people who are navigating anxiety, perfectionism, impostor syndrome, and other internal hurdles to realizing their professional and personal goals. I am especially passionate about supporting graduate students and professionals in high-stress, service-oriented fields like medicine, mental health, public health, higher education and advocacy. My approach integrates cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, and relational therapies, allowing me to tailor treatment to your unique needs and preferences. Together, we will use effective, evidence-based interventions to help you make meaningful changes in your life today. I also incorporate a psychodynamic component to illuminate how your past informs your present experiences. When we can see our patterns more clearly, we have the opportunity to transform in a deeper, more lasting way. My style is non-judgmental, compassionate, and practical. I encourage you to show up exactly as you are, right now, and I will meet you with understanding, investment and caring attention. Because you are the expert on you, ongoing feedback will always be part of the process. Whether you need a lot of space to just be heard, or prefer that I share information and teach skills actively, I strive to be attuned and adaptive as your needs change. I invite you to schedule a call to see if my style and therapy approach might be the right fit for you. Questions are always encouraged, and I welcome the opportunity to discuss any concerns you may have before starting.
