Life hurts. It just does. We all go through tough times at some point. Tragedy and hardship hit unannounced. These events have a lasting impact - even subtle ones - especially if they took place during our formative years. They can leave us on high alert, isolated, stressed out, hating ourselves, experiencing nightmares, not being able to feel joy, or to concentrate. If you have experienced any kind of trauma, be it a massive event that you didn't recover from, the repeated attrition of abuse, o...
Perhaps everyone around you thinks you have it all together. Maybe you’re doing it all and managing a smile in the process. But, on the inside, is it chaos? Perhaps you landed here because you’re not just managing to do lists, but fighting that voice in your head that tells you you’re doing it all wrong, and that you’re not good enough. You’re working on boundaries, trying to communicate effectively and desperately trying to connect with those around you while trying to be the best at everything...

Please reach out if you have concerns a...
I work with teens, college students, and young adults hoping to better manage life's difficulties and troubles with emotion regulation, unhelpful thoughts, and problematic relationships. Ultimately, I believe that people in treatment want to change and feel more fulfilled at school or work, in relationships, and with their sense of personal growth. Psychodynamic psychotherapy emphasizes that we will work on these issues together within a safe and supportive relationship. We can collaborate...

Hi, I'm Kate Lipman (she/her). I hope we get the chance to connect. People I work with best often struggle with self-esteem, anxiety, and depression (among many other things). I love working with students as they navigate the sometimes rough waters of schooling and early adulthood. I hope our work together can be a steadying and calming force in the midst of those previously turbulent seas. Please reach out to me for a free 15-30 min phone call to see if we are a good fit!...

My background predominantly involves working with young and emerging adults, adults, and athletes. I tend to be quite active in sessions and trust immensely in the profound ...
