Kathryn Hedjasi

My communication style

I'm empathetic, direct, and an active listener. I don't shy away from painful experiences and stay present to help you navigate sharing trauma. I provide tools for the aftermath of disclosure and offer as much or as little education as you need. I'm open to feedback and truly come from a place of caring.

My journey to mental healthcare

My mother had terminal cancer when I was a teen, and I was her primary caregiver. What began as wanting to ease her suffering became a passion for understanding resilience. I marvel at the human spirit and find that trauma and grief often become the gateway to a more loving, balanced, and compassionate self.

My goals for you

Goal-setting is a collaboration. I learn what's important to you and what areas are or aren't working. I never assume your initial priority, as readiness and external influences matter. My experience, skillsets, and intuition are tools to help propel you toward healing, acceptance, integration, and success.

Our first session

I'm more direct in the first session with more questions to get a full clinical picture of your history, daily life, and support system. I spend time conceptualizing after our first meeting to determine the best approach. In our second session, we'll build your goals together and agree on how to proceed.

I identify as...

• Female
