Katrina Watson

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to creating a safe, affirming, and supportive space for healing. I specialize in queer counseling, EMDR, and trauma-informed care, and I’m passionate about helping clients navigate challenges with authenticity and resilience. Whether you’re working through trauma, identity exploration, or relationship dynamics, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and insight.
My approach to care is collaborative, affirming, and grounded in empathy. I believe in meeting clients where they are, honoring each person’s lived experience, and building a strong therapeutic relationship rooted in trust and respect. I integrate trauma-informed care with EMDR and other evidence-based practices to support healing.
My communication style is warm, accepting, and down-to-earth. I aim to create a relaxed, nonjudgmental space where clients can feel safe to show up exactly as they are. I’m not afraid to use humor when it fits—therapy doesn’t always have to be heavy to be healing—and I believe authenticity and connection are key to meaningful growth.
