About Kathryn
Kathryn (Katie) Mason is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and depression. She works to make the first step feel manageable and supports clients who want a more fulfilling, happier life.
Katie creates a calm space where people can talk about hard feelings without judgment. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and what patterns have shaped those reactions. She uses everyday language and keeps the conversation practical so clients can try new ways of coping between sessions.
Her approach blends respect for how each person experiences relationships with tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. That means looking at attachment needs, using client-centered listening, and adding behavioral strategies when helpful. Katie also integrates EMDR when trauma processing is appropriate and agreed upon.
With 17 years of clinical experience, she draws on a range of methods to match each person’s needs rather than relying on a single technique. Expect collaborative decision making about goals and steps to reach them.
