Katerina Schwab, LMHC — Therapist in Washington

Hi there, I'm Katerina!

I'm so glad you've taken this first step! In my practice, I focus on meeting each person with compassion and curiosity, drawing from different therapeutic approaches to support your growth, healing, and resilience.

My focus

I support people managing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life changes. I strive to create a safe, collaborative space where insight, resilience, and growth can emerge while helping you build practical tools for long-term emotional well-being.

My approach

I take an eclectic, client-centered approach, drawing from evidence-based modalities to meet your unique needs. I integrate techniques from CBT, DBT, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness practices, depending on your goals.

My communication style

My tone in therapy is warm, steady, and compassionate, helping you feel safe enough to explore even the most difficult topics. I communicate with empathy and clarity, always working to foster trust and emotional processing.

My journey to mental healthcare

Being a therapist means being part of someone's healing journey, especially coming from a background where therapy wasn't something we talked about. Holding space for others to heal, grow, and break generational patterns feels both personal and powerful.

My goals for you

In our work together, we'll explore what matters most to you and set goals that feel both realistic and meaningful. We'll create a personalized plan and use evidence-based strategies to support steady, measurable progress.

Our first session

Whether this is your first time or you are returning to therapy, we'll take time to get to know each other and talk about what brings you in. There's no right way to show up. This is space to be yourself, share what's on your mind, and explore what you're hoping to work on.
