Kate O’Brien, LCSW
I’m Dr. O’Brien. Kate. I am young enough to have a few years left, and experienced enough to have survived and conquered gut-wrenching challenges and unexpected victories. I enjoy working to resolve problems related to relationship issues, religious trauma, racial identity, trauma and abuse, LGBTQi identities, gender identity transitions and gender expression.
You can move forward. You can learn and grow. At any stage of life there can be hope.
Caring Across More Than 30 Years
Now practicing from Saint Charles, Missouri, Kate sees Missouri-based clients virtually for psychotherapy and for Reiki distance sessions. Her substantial career in behavioral health care and her work as a social justice educator contribute to her knowledge, skills, and attitudes of creating and maintaining equity in human relationships and in everyday life.
Kate works from a strengths-based, solution-focused, integrative framework. An integrative approach may include traditional psychotherapy practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). In addition to these approaches, Kate may offer Reiki and/or other nontraditional therapeutic components. She supports clients to address a wide variety of challenges including anxiety, depression; grief and loss; life crises, transitions and other stressors; recovery from traumatic events and/or abuse; marital problems; gender identity/transitions, sexual orientation, and racial identity.
Kate uses she/her pronouns, but is also quite happy to be referred to without the use of pronouns, by her name. She enjoys collaborating with clients ages 18 and older to develop and implement lasting solutions for their concerns.
