Kathryn Krause, LPC (she/her)

Healing is an imperfect process, but it is in that imperfection that we find real opportunity for growth, connection, and change. As a therapist, I strive to create these opportunities for clients as I believe we find strength and hope when we are true to ourselves. When we learn to sit with discomfort and difficult emotions, we can gain new perspectives and insights towards making lasting change.

I use a relational, authentic approach to create a warm, safe environment for clients. I believe therapy should be collaborative, and I strive to provide clients with the space to share their stories. My goal is for clients to feel truly heard and acknowledged during sessions. Therapy can certainly be hard work, but I believe there is still room for appropriately placed humor. My clinical interests include working with individuals and couples who have a history of depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship concerns, infertility, and pregnancy loss. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help clients feel empowered, improve their relationships, and work on providing themselves with the kindness and care they deserve. I am currently in the midst of working towards my certification in Perinatal Mental Health.

I earned my Master’s Degree in Community Counseling at National Louis University. Prior to private practice, I worked in managed care, social service agencies, and as a hospice bereavement counseling fellow.

More about me

I love spending time with family, finding time to catch up on reading, and taking walks in my neighborhood. A little sunshine lifts my mood almost instantly.
