Katherine Weller

Katherine Weller is a marriage and family therapist licensed in both California and Washington who brings 30 years of clinical experience to her work. She has held licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist since 1989 and practices from a systems-oriented perspective that emphasizes how people are shaped by their relationships, histories, work, school, and community contexts.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, family conflicts and parenting challenges, self-regard and career difficulties, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, depression, coping with life changes, coaching needs, and compassion fatigue. Katherine views each person and family as unique and tailors her approach to the specific pattern of circumstances and goals presented in therapy.

Across three decades she has worked in diverse settings - hospitals, public health, military bases, agencies, and small practice offices in both rural and urban communities - and those experiences have deepened her appreciation for the variety of human experience. Her training in human systems guides her attention to how early family experiences and present-day environments influence a person’s view of self and others.

Katherine centers the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for effective work, combining attentive listening with thoughtful challenge and encouragement toward constructive action. She draws on a range of proven therapy models as appropriate and partners with clients to cultivate hope, personal agency, and improved emotional health. Katherine is based in California and welcomes people who want to explore possibilities for change and growth.
