About
Welcome to my practice! I am Ava Kate, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist who specializes in working with females who struggle with anxiety, depression, and trauma related issues. I am trained in EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as well as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT.) It would be a privilege to work with you.
I believe that as a client, you deserve to be treated by a skilled clinician who uses evidence based practices and treatment. I will equip you to think out of the box, problem solve, unearth options you you never thought of. Together we will explore interventions and treatment that match your goals and comfort level. I know (from personal experience) that when coping seems intolerable, and your emotions are raw ~ you’re feeling stuck - it is time to take action.
Why I Became a Professional Christian Therapist
I am an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God and have served in full time pastoral ministry. My experience and calling opened a pathway to the mental health and leadership development field for women. I am passionate about helping women successfully understand and master the ways in which the many currents of their spiritual, emotional, interpersonal, and physical lives interact and affect their mental health. I graduated from Vanguard University of Southern California with a BA in Religion and Psychology, completed a Master of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Fuller Seminary's Graduate School of Psychology, and a Doctor of Leadership degree from Evangel University. I would love to meet you!
