Kathleen (Kate) Budnik
LCSW | Therapist
I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 20 years and have had the privilege of working within all levels of psychiatric care. Now in private practice, I utilize all I’ve learned to collaboratively create a treatment plan to guide us on the path toward reaching clients goals. I will draw from the treatment modalities that best fit your unique situation and reasons for seeking therapy. Some of my expertise includes CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Motivational Interviewing and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy.
I can help you learn a set of skills that will help you more effectively navigate challenging relationships, strong emotions and behaviors which may no longer be serving you. I have experience in treating many behavioral health conditions and concerns including PTSD, mood disorders, anxiety, relationship issues, abuse, family issues, life stressors and transitions. I will provide you with a safe space free of judgement. I am trained and certified in (EMDR)Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy which is a treatment used to address traumatic events that may be from the distant past or a more recent experience that continues to cause symptoms. When people have a traumatic experience whether a one- time event or ongoing trauma such as abuse they often develop negative beliefs about themselves, others and the world. EMDR therapy can address these beliefs and help clients live their healthiest lives without being encumbered by negative past events.
I know seeking therapy is a big step which takes courage and I look forward to assisting you in this journey.
