Kathleen Converse (she/her)

My Background and Approach

I take a personalized, collaborative approach to healing work. I am trained in EMDR and Internal Family Systems Theory informed, and draw on somatic mind- body techniques in my work with clients. I am also trained as a Level 2 reiki practitioner and enjoy exploring the intersections between neuroscience, evidence based practices, and energy work. I use a strengths based approach to build on your existing coping strategies. I am a former sexual assault advocate, and university Director for the Center for Gender Equity. I have 10 years of experience working with survivors of trauma, and draw on this background to help you have healthier relationships with yourself and others.

My Values as a Therapist

I have a background in community organizing and am passionate about social justice. My practice strives to be anti-oppressive, queer and trans affirming, neuro-affirming, and trauma- informed. I believe that individual healing creates ripples in the world, and that a more equitable and just world is possible starting by healing ourselves.
