Biography
I am a clinical psychologist based in the San Francisco Bay Area and providing teletherapy to individuals across California. My approach is grounded in mindfulness and behaviorism, and I integrate a variety of evidence-based treatments to help my clients grow. I have worked in mental health clinics, university counseling centers, and in the community treating anxiety, mood disorders, coping skills, and trauma. I specialize in panic, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, OCD, body-focused repetitive behaviors, phobias, insomnia, life transitions, and relational issues. My approach is warm, transparent, and collaborative. I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist, and I provide culturally informed therapy to adults of all ages.
I offer free 20-minute phone consultations to determine fit. Prospective clients can reach me by calling (925) 232-1286 or emailing hello@drkatepetersen.com. I've got more information on my website, www.drkatepetersen.com.
