Kate Manser Counseling L.L.C.

As someone who identifies as queer and polyamorous, I understand what challenges come with these identities. We are often unprepared for the difficulties that arise when living in a mononormative society. It makes sense that emotions like fear or depression are brought up when we go outside of those norms, even for the seasoned nonmonogamous folks. Together we can navigate if you or you and your partner(s) find yourselves with insecure attachment styles impacting your relationship(s), are having difficulty managing boundaries, or need help dismantling couple's privlege.

You deserve to feel accepted, valued, and back in charge of your own life. With our work individually, as a couple, or with your polycule, you will find that you'll be able to express your emotions clearly to the people in your life, advocate for your needs and wants more effectively, and as a result find yourself feeling less stress.

I recognize that one treatment orientation may not be the best fit for everyone who chooses to work with me. You can expect me to draw on Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Thearpy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), trauma therapy, somatic experiencing, or solution-focused brief therapy. I use a variety of styles so that we can find the right one for you. I'm receptive to all feedback and want to make sure we address your concerns in a way that works for you.
