Individual Therapy Services
What is Therapy?
Therapy is a collaborative process during which the clinician facilitates introspection and self-reflection for the client through evidenced-based approaches and techniques. Goals of therapy vary across clients and needs.
Therapeutic Style
Dr. Katherine Magnuson has a unique and invaluable training background that has fostered her eclectic approach to therapy. She draws from a collaborative, primarily cognitive behavioral approach. Her style aims to encourage problem-solving and self-understanding, while maintaining a strong empathetic dynamic. She draws from evidence-based approaches in therapy, selecting particular modalities that match a client's needs to best match one's stage of personal development as therapy progresses.
