About me
I’d like to introduce myself. I am a practicing psychotherapist licensed in both Washington and California. My licensure is as a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) since 1989. My training working with individuals and families is informed by an educational and experiential foundation in human systems, so my perspective is through the lens of our human experience in context, both historic and present day. Early family experiences, present day relationships, work and school environments and community surroundings all impact our view of ourselves, others, and our relationship to the world.
I am excited to work with each of you to discover what can create for you a sense of hope, promise, self-regard, and general increased emotional health. Together we will look to those positive possibilities to inspire action to address and change what holds you back and stands in the way of a true sense of wellbeing and personal agency.
I have worked in the field for a long time in multiple settings from hospitals and public health to military bases, agencies, and small practice offices in rural and urban communities; from these varied experiences I have developed so much respect for the diversity of human experience and the personal and unique nature of each individual’s set of challenges.
I am trained in many approaches and find that the core of effective work is the quality relationship with you, the client, and the level of understanding and trust that grows out of listening, challenging, and encouraging positive action. I will draw from a number of proven effective models of therapy as appropriate to help you find your way, and our work will be dedicated to moving you towards your personal goals.
I truly look forward to our time together.

I have recently started working with Katherine and I am grateful for her expertise and compassion. I am currently seeking a style of therapist who is direct so that I can be specific and successful in achieving with my goals, Katherine is a great fit. She quickly tapped into my ways of expression showing the level of presence and awareness in her work. Thank you Katherine.

Katherine is the best therapist I have ever had! I can contact her and she will respond in a timely manner, fit me into her soonest appointment when I need to speak to her when her schedule is full. I am truly grateful for all Katherine’s help with all of my concerns and helps me to feel empowered by the choices I have made in my life.

Katherine is a wonderful therapist, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her. She is extremely attentive, and engaged with me throughout each session, rather than just listening but not saying much. I also appreciated her nuanced and compassionate approach that made me feel comfortable sharing things that can be hard to say aloud or put into words. She helped give me the space and support to express myself, while also sharing her insights into what she was hearing. Her suggested prompts for things to think/write about between sessions were also very helpful.
I wholeheartedly recommend Katherine Weller.
