MEET KATE

Bring ease and calm back into your life

Kate Neufeld, anxiety and trauma therapist

You remember a time when anxiety and self-doubt weren’t the “norm”… but those days feel like a distant memory. Don’t you wish you had the tools to change that?

YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE

I help women just like you: those that have it within them to feel centered and calm, but just need the support to get there.

MY APPROACH

I help clients find confidence, clarity, and ease by equipping them with the tools they need to get clear on what they want, understand their bodies’ responses to stress, and transform responses to anxiety and trauma.

Some approaches to supporting clients with challenges with anxiety, relationships, or trauma focus on simply changing thoughts and behavior or teaching coping tools, leading so many people to feel like they should be able to make the changes they are searching for easily - and if they can’t, that their struggle is ultimately their fault or a sign there is something wrong with them. I know that while your struggles are real and may not make sense to you, they are not a sign you are broken or damaged. I will teach you skills and help you shift thoughts and behaviors, but I will also go deeper than that to help you get to the core of your problem and create lasting shifts.

I help my clients discover what they most deeply want and understand what’s been getting in the way of finding that. This might sound simple – who doesn’t know what they want? But the truth is, many women have had experiences – often from a young age – that discouraged them from listening to themselves and their own desires and to focus instead on the needs and wants of others. Together, I work with clients to identify and deconstruct those patterns so they can dream bigger, embrace their true desires, and learn to unapologetically put those first so they can start getting more of what they want in life.

Together we will work to understand what started the pattern around your current struggle, so we can begin to heal it from the inside out. We will start by identifying your goals and exploring the interlocking patterns, past experiences, and beliefs that are causing you to feel stuck, anxious, or hijacked by your emotions. Then, we work on making lasting shifts to these ingrained responses using the specific approaches that will be most effective for you. Through our work together, you will be more connected to your own inner wisdom, confidence, and capacity for rest so that you can truly thrive.

I am dedicated to helping women find their inner power

My training in EMDR and talk therapy means I have the expertise you need and deserve when you are working to shift your anxiety, create the relationships you want, or heal from trauma. But at the end of the day, you want to know you’re working with someone who “gets” what it means to be a professional woman with these struggles, right?

I get it because I’ve lived it myself. I know that it can feel hard to believe change is possible or that having the life you want is within your reach. I have also worked with many clients with these same issues - women who struggle with feeling not good enough, unloveable (or only loveable when they are meeting the needs of others), or just that there is something wrong with them. So when we work together, you won’t just get a trained therapist. You’ll get someone who truly understands what you’re going through.

The good news is I also know in my bones that therapy can help people truly transform their lives. This is why I do the work I do: there is nothing more satisfying to me than seeing someone shift from self-judgment, anxiety, or shame into more empowerment, self-acceptance, and authenticity. When people make these internal shifts, they also see shifts in their outer world - saying NO to things that aren’t serving them, increasing capacity for true self-care and self-love, finding deeply satisfying relationships, and moving confidently in the direction of their dreams.

I believe this is possible for you, too.
