I believe in treating you with respect, empathy, sensitivity, and compassion. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked as a community organizer for social, racial, and economic justice.

Dr. Katherine Walker
Hello! I am a newly retired middle-aged female who worked for a large health care organization for over 30 years both as a therapist and a manager. During my career there I had a chance to work with a wide variety of clients ranging from those with serious mental illness (Bipolar, Schizophrenic) to those that were coping with life issues such as divorce, loss, or job stress. I completed my undergraduate degree at UC Berkeley and then (after a brief hiatus working as a respiratory therapist) attended graduate school at the California School of Professional Psychology. I enjoy working with a wide range of clients and use an approach that is based in my very strong belief that there is goodness and strength in all people and that all progress in therapy is directly attributable to the efforts that are put in by the client, with my guidance.

Michelle Filippi-Robb
Hi! I'm Michelle – a 40-something cisgender heterosexual woman with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I co-own a small private practice with my husband (also a therapist), and while we don’t have human kids, we do have multiple dogs who I am over the top with as a proud "dog mom." While this isn't something typically discussed in therapy, I’m liberal-leaning in my values and have a personal faith, though I wouldn’t describe myself as traditionally religious. A Few Things to Know: Therapy Fit Matters: If I’m not the right fit for you, that’s okay! Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. You’re welcome to unassign and continue your search—your comfort is most important. My Approach: I practice Person-Centered Therapy, which means: You set the pace—I'm here to listen, not to judge or direct. I believe you are the expert on your life, and I work alongside you with empathy and support. I focus on building trust, validation, and a space where you feel safe to be yourself. About Me: I was born with Spina Bifida and use a wheelchair full-time. This perspective deepens my empathy and reminds me that no two experiences are the same—even when the issues look similar on the surface. My Style: I’m laid back and authentic while remaining professional. I don’t typically assign homework or suggest reading, though I might occasionally if it feels helpful. Who I’m Not a Fit For: I’m not trained to work with active addiction or severe trauma/PTSD-related symptoms. My Focus Areas: Grief of all kinds (people, pets, jobs, life stages, etc.) Depression Life transitions (divorce, career shifts, big changes) Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m here if you think we’d be a good match. .

Hello, and thank you for stopping by. How wonderful that you finally took a moment for yourself to find the support you deserve. Let’s face it, being human can be hard. The daily grind of modern Western society can wear us down to the point of being physically, emotionally and spiritually unbalanced and unwell. And much like a road trip, life can feel like a long, lonely ride unless we have a co-pilot to help us navigate difficult terrane. Utilizing your existing personal strengths, inner wisdom, and resiliency, we will work together to navigate challenges and develop a strategy to help you get to where you want to be in life. I look forward to riding alongside you. Let’s go!
