About Katherine
LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) in California with 12 years of experience. Dr. Katherine Phillips helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, depression, and life changes. She also focuses on grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, and first responder issues.
Dr. Phillips works from the view that each person knows their story best. She listens for strengths people already use and builds on those in sessions. Conversations tend to focus on practical steps and ways to manage symptoms day to day.
Her sessions commonly look at how relationships and daily routines affect mood and behavior. She helps people identify patterns that keep problems going and then tries out different coping strategies. When addictions or high stress are involved, she concentrates on immediate ways to reduce risk and regain control of daily functioning.
Dr. Phillips also supports people handling loss and trauma. She helps with grief processing and with pacing exposure to difficult memories so people can tolerate change. For intimacy or eating concerns she addresses the behaviors and the feelings that drive them.
People who reach out can expect a practical, matter-of-fact style that focuses on small, useful changes. Dr. Phillips works in English and practices in California. To begin, prospective clients complete a matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
