Meet Dr. Kathryn Lawson
Confidential, evidence-based therapy for healthcare professionals—delivered with compassion and discretion.
I’ve had the privilege of supporting people at every stage of their mental health journey. I specialize in treating healthcare workers who are suffering from trauma, grief, depression, burnout, moral injury, or a combination of symptoms. You may have a complex trauma history or may have recently suffered a trauma or loss. You may have struggled with depression for years or may now be facing your first episode of depression. Wherever you are in your distress, I can meet you there and continue your progress toward wellness.
I use evidence-based interventions in my practice, exclusively selecting strategies with well-established research support and a robust theoretical foundation. However, I firmly believe that no intervention can achieve its full potential without the presence of a nurturing and compassionate therapeutic relationship. When you choose to work with me, you can expect a collaborative process that integrates your unique experiences to tailor a personalized treatment plan. I am passionate about understanding your symptoms within the context in which they appear rather than focusing on pathologizing them. You can depend on a therapeutic relationship where we will prioritize and celebrate your strengths.
I invite you to contact me today to explore how we can collaborate on your path to wellness.
