KATHRYN LOBEL, MA, LMHC, RYT-200, CCATP

Katie’s work is informed by a holistic perspective rooted in loving presence that honors the clients experience of interconnectedness of mind, body, emotions, relationships, and lived experience. She helps her clients strengthen their connection to themselves, cultivate greater inner trust, and develop a deeper sense of self-worth and personal agency. At the heart of Katie's approach is the belief that healing occurs when we begin to value our own experience and recognize that our needs matter. She supports clients in moving beyond automatic patterns and unconscious ways of relating so they can make more intentional choices about how they want to show up in their lives and the world around them. Katie believes that meaningful change occurs when we learn to trust ourselves and live in alignment with our authentic values. Rather than simply helping clients manage symptoms, she supports them in creating lasting transformation that fosters personal freedom and emotional well-being in relationships. Her mission is to help her clients create lives rooted in deep intentionality and come back into healthy relationship with themselves so that they can be in healthier relationship with others. Through this process, clients are able to experience greater freedom, authenticity, intimacy, and connection in all areas of their lives. _______________________________ Three primary ways of working with Katie… Katie creates a safe, warm, and welcoming space where clients can freely explore what lies beneath their relational patterns, bring unconscious experiences into conscious awareness, and develop a more whole-hearted and compassionate connection with their most authentic self. 1.
