Katrina Suprise

Katrina Suprise is a licensed clinical social worker in California (CA LCSW 83565) with 10 years of professional experience. She supports people facing anxiety, depression, low motivation, self-esteem challenges, romantic relationship concerns, and parenting difficulties, and she has also worked with individuals who have substance use issues and severe mental illness.

Her practice is rooted in a person-centered perspective that emphasizes recognizing and expanding personal strengths and resources to reach stated goals. Katrina believes individuals possess the internal capacities needed to heal emotional and psychological wounds and to move toward their best selves. She helps clients clarify their values, identify barriers to change - including thoughts, feelings, and life circumstances - and take steps that align behavior with those values.

Katrina integrates cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and psychodynamic approaches with acceptance and commitment therapy and motivational interviewing, adapting these methods to fit each person’s specific needs.

Personal and professional experience has shaped her receptivity to and appreciation of differences, and she approaches therapy with an open mind and heart. Trust is central to successful work, and she strives to establish a safe, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly.

She recognizes that committing to change often brings simultaneous feelings of excitement and fear. While change can be difficult, Katrina believes transformation grows from earnest self-exploration and deliberate action. Seeking help to pursue life goals demonstrates courage, and she is available to support clients through their journey of self-discovery and growth.
