Kathe Phippen LISW PLLC

I believe our life experiences shape us both psychologically and physically. With this in mind, I offer a blend of talk therapy and body awareness techniques to promote mental well-being. My approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychoeducation, somatic therapies, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, spirituality, and mindfulness to support lasting healing. My therapy approaches lean into learning to be kind to yourself regardless of the circumstances.
