Depression can wreak havoc on your entire life including your personal and professional lives. You may find that you have no energy, are feeling sad for no obvious reason, lack enthusiasm for previously enjoyed activities, and may not even want to get out of bed. The therapists in Calabasas are trained to help diagnose depression and other mental illnesses. 

Calabasas is in the hills of the Santa Monica Mountains by Hidden Hills, West Hills, Agoura Hills, and Woodland Hills. However, the city got its name from the pumpkins and squash that grow so readily there. In fact, they have an annual pumpkin festival to celebrate. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or any other mental health issue, you might not feel like celebrating, but seeking treatment from a therapist in Calabasas or the surrounding area may help.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) since 2016 in California. I spent twenty-eight years in the army (active and reserve) retiring as a lieutenant colonel. I began Christian counseling in 2002 continuing through 2006. I counseled individuals and couples regarding various relational and adjustment issues. I also counseled individuals regarding self-esteem, and substance abuse. Theoretical approaches most commonly utilized consisted of cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and family systems models. I attended a marriage and family therapy academic program at Western Seminary completing all requirements in 2008. I also obtained an addiction studies certificate from the institution. I worked in residential treatment facilities from 2005-2011. In this capacity crisis were handled though behavioral interventions that included crises intervention counseling and referral to appropriate internal/external resources. Additionally, assessments were conducted to determine if clients in crisis needed a higher level of care. Coordinated all client work parties. Monitored client suicide/homicide ideation in individual and group counseling sessions. During this time I also worked with inmates housed in residential treatment both inside and outside of treatment settings. In these settings the 12 Step model for treatment was utilized. From 2013 through 2017 I worked with the homeless population providing intensive case management. Presently I work with families with autistic children utilizing applied behavior analysis (ABA) as the treatment modality. With this wide breath of experience I believe I can continue to be of great assistance to individuals in needed of counseling services.

12 years of experience

I am licensed in California, Alabama, and Texas with 12 years of professional work experience, particularly working with clients with histories of trauma, substance abuse issues and codependency, stress and anxiety, depression, and attachment issues. I welcome clients of all backgrounds, religious beliefs, races, cultures, or personal identities. My extensive experience traveling both within the US and abroad has helped me to develop a deep appreciation for the differences and similarities amongst individuals and groups in general. That said, I have a variety of experience with a range of clientele, but all shared a desire for connection with others. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I tend to work from a psychodynamic perspective . I have found success using the relationship between client and therapist to create awareness, make observations, and allow a safe space for growth and change. Given I have worked with clients with extensive histories of trauma, I do believe it is important to understand the impact of primary or prior experiences on current relationships with self and others, but you determine the pace at which we work. It is never the goal to relive trauma or pressure you to disclose something you are not ready to share. I truly believe each client will share what is relevant for their healing in their own time. It is my job to hold that space and work with you to build connections and remove barriers to your own happiness and satisfaction in life. Despite my tendency to work from a psychodynamic perspective, I may use other tools or therapeutic perspectives if it is helpful for you, the client. Flexibility and empathic attunement are essential components of a successful therapeutic relationship. In regards to my specific experience, I have facilitated groups for the CA Lawyers Bar Association in both Los Angeles and the Bay Area to help members address issues of depression, anxiety, or substance use that were interfering with their work or ability to obtain/maintain licensure. Creating a safe space to allow for others to share insights, build awareness, and share feelings was imperative to that therapeutic process. I have worked with clients in a private practice setting, primarily working with clients struggling with Anxiety, Depression, or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I learned clients may come to therapy for a specific issue or goal that would often change during the course of therapy. That is ok! I cannot stress enough how important it is in my practice to work at the client's pace. While it is not my goal to tell you what to do, I may, make observations, inquire about, or make connections to other information shared in our sessions to help you determine what is best for you. Finally, I worked with the Juvenile Justice system for more than 12 years working with youth and their families in a variety of roles. I collaborated with the Court system, non-profit agencies, and worked directly with youth in group settings. Establishing rapport and building a foundation of trust and respect was key for discussing barriers to success and identifying ways each person could achieve the goals set forth. Anyone who has worked with teens knows ruptures in the relationship may occur. If that happens, whether it is with an adult or teen, it is important for me as a therapist to allow space in session to validate that experience and repair the relationship. Ruptures in a relationship can actually lead to some of the greatest moments of healing and growth, if handled appropriately. A person's perspective is their reality and I want to understand each client's perspective in a non-judgmental and compassionate way. Overall, I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. If you experience something in session that you did not like, I encourage feedback and honesty so we can work together to address that. The therapeutic relationship can be the foundation for healing and growth, but only if it is a safe space. Therapy can stir up difficult feelings both in and out of session. As your therapist, I want the space in session to feel safe enough to share those experiences, even when it can be difficult or painful. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes incredible courage. I am here to support you in that process. It is an honor to work with each client and join you on your journey of healing and growth!

Hi there, I'm Kathleen! Hello! I’m Katie, an LMFT with a passion for helping individuals navigate their personal journeys. I have spent the last 11 years working as a therapist to do just that. When I'm not practicing therapy, I'm reading, playing video games, attending my kids' activities, and going on adventures with my family. My approach My approach is collaborative and tailored to each person’s unique needs, utilizing techniques from CBT, DBT, Somatic Therapy, EMDR, Brain spotting, aggression replacement therapy, and person-centered therapy. I’m here to listen, support, and empower you as we work together toward your goals. I look forward to meeting you! My focus I studied at the University of Houston for my undergrad in Anthropology and the University of Houston Clear Lake for my Master's degree in Counseling. I specialize in trauma, codependency, adolescent issues, behavioral modification, self-harm, relationship issues, and autism. I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment for my clients. However, I’m open to working with anyone who is looking to better understand themselves and unlock their potential. My communication style I listen to my clients, engage honestly, and tell them the things they need to hear. Every therapy relationship is different and every person is different - together we will come up with an approach that is feasible and maintainable to support your growth. My journey to mental healthcare I had my own challenges as a teen and young adult that led me to need help. I do not think I would be where I am today without the support of my therapist during those dark times. I want to help others not have to make the same mistakes I did and be able to find their light. My goals for you Together we look at where you want to be and what the barriers are stopping you from getting there; then we find ways to remove or go around those barriers by setting small manageable goals. My first session with you Our first session will be a getting-to-know-you session where I gather a brief history of your challenges and start learning about you.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about therapists and mental health services

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Calabasas area can be found below:

How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Calabasas therapist?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Calabasas due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • Counseling with therapists: $100-300
  • Therapy with a psychologist: $100

While many psychologists in Calabasas may not take health insurance, some in the state of California may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of California you can expect significantly more affordable options, with therapists sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

While their lived experience, expertise, careers, and background vary, therapists here all possess at least 3 years and 1,000 hours of hands-on experience with adult and sometimes teen patients, and have the necessary therapist credentials to provide a safe space for long lasting emotional healing in therapy.

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Calabasas?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a Calabasas therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors and therapists are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.

Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of Calabasas therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A Calabasas therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.

With a lot of people in CA, therapists may be booked out with clients. Through the list of profiles or therapists above and others within BetterHelp's team, you may be able to find a psychologist within 24 to 48 hours. If you're searching to find a a nearby psychotherapist close to 91302 or the surrounding zip codes, consider others available through the BetterHelp site where you can schedule a session based on your and the therapist's schedule. No matter if you are seeking help from therapists in your area or beyond, online therapy can be a great option.

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a Calabasas counselor?

Before seeing your Calabasas therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, you can let our therapists know if you have any concerns or feel unsure about what to talk about. Calabasas therapists here may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine? 

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Calabasas licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a Calabasas counselor can be dependent on your process.

People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles that a counselor can help with.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based psychologist in Calabasas, California can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Calabasas has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change therapists easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?

The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
