Kathleen A Dobek

I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in individual and couples therapy. My primary areas of clinical experience are depression, anxiety, life transitions, womens' issues, and couples therapy. Each client is a unique individual who comes to therapy with a particular concern or problem which they wish to explore and amend. Therapy can give a client the needed support to translate feelings, thoughts, insights, and yearnings into coherent sense and meaning. Therapy is a process, not an event. As such, clients can progress and change at a pace and level of challenge that is comfortable, safe, and ongoing. My individual therapy includes frameworks from humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, and insight-oriented models. My couples therapy is aligned with the model of Emotionally Focused Therapy, a highly researched and successful relationship therapy which prioritizes emotion, secure adult attachment, and transforming negative cycles of interaction between partners to more open, safe, meaningful, and deep connection.
