Kathleen Jansen

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

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.
