Kate Kittredge
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C, LP
You don’t have to navigate life’s hardest seasons alone. I believe therapy is a place where you can take off the mask, exhale, and be met with empathy, curiosity, and respect. My role is to walk beside you—helping you find meaning, healing, and a renewed sense of connection to yourself and the people you love.
My approach is humanistic and person-centered, grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. I blend evidence-based and experiential methods, drawing from somatic and brain-based modalities such as Brainspotting to support both emotional and physiological healing. Our work together unfolds at your pace, guided by what feels most important and authentic to you.
I specialize in supporting individuals through the perinatal period—including pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, pregnancy or birth trauma, loss, and the complex emotions that accompany the journey of building a family. I also work with those experiencing anxiety, burnout, grief, or major life transitions, helping clients reconnect with their sense of stability and self-trust.
In therapy, we’ll explore not only the stories you tell yourself but also how those stories live in your body. Together, we’ll learn to listen to what your nervous system is communicating, create space for what’s been held too tightly, and build new ways of coping and thriving.
My goal is to help you feel more at home within yourself—to find a sense of balance, clarity, and self-compassion, even when life feels uncertain. Healing isn’t about erasing pain; it’s about creating room for hope and meaning to grow beside it.
If you’re ready to begin—or even if you’re not sure where to start—I’ll meet you right where you are. You deserve support that honors your whole self.
