Therapy Sessions

My Approach

Dr. Kate Ekman is a clinical psychologist specializing in assessment and treatment of children and adolescents through a cognitive-behavioral (CBT) and family systems oriented lens. She relies on evidence-based treatment of mood disorders, and believes that reinforcement of skills at home is a vital part of treatment. Her approach is collaborative between children, parents/caregivers, and clinician, working primarily with the child, but also teaching these critical skills to caregivers who can work on learned skills and concepts outside of the therapy room as well, cementing their efficacy.

Testimonial

Our child took the Emotional Regulation and Social Skills course. Dr. Kate had a great way of breaking down complex topics to his kindergarten class and made the class fun and engaging. He enjoyed seeing his social club mates and learning new skills each week, and we still use the vocabulary and skills he built there to solve challenges that arise more effectively. I am thankful that Dr. Kate held this class in person for such young learners, as we wouldn't have been able to take it until many years down the road otherwise.
