Katheryn Kiker, Pre-Licensed Professional. Supervised by Kimberly Benedict, LPC-S.

My clients describe me as:

I am a person-centered counselor that looks a lot at the relationship with the "self," how we talk to ourselves, how we react when things go wrong.

Something to know about my approach is:

My work as a counselor is to provide a space for my clients slow down, to learn to listen, trust, and believe in themselves.

Together, we will:

Look at ways you put yourself down or criticize yourself and learn to build yourself up as you work through any presenting issues.

I specialize in working with people who:

Are struggling with their efforts to improve due to being highly self-critical.

I became a therapist because:

I think change happens most deeply in relationship and believe I have a talent to hold a very accepting and patient space for others to heal.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I currently offer virtual services over google meet.

More about me and my practice:

I have been studying self-compassion for 5 years now and find that it guides a lot of the interventions I provide. Being able to more gently look at your problem and start to understand it can really help us to stop running away and face our fears.
