I'm Kate.
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Seattle, the founder of Modern Therapy Seattle, and an educator and consultant. I keep ending up in the same territory: sex, shame, intimacy, ethics, technology, and the conversations people work hard to avoid.
My approach is direct, curious, warm, and hard to scandalize. I'd rather name the awkward thing early and make it workable than talk around it for an hour.
An honest picture of what exists today, and what's still being built.
