Gretchen Kahre

Gretchen Kahre is a compassionate psychotherapist devoted to supporting women in their 40s and beyond, especially those navigating life transitions such as peri-menopause, post-menopause, and complex relational dynamics like aging parents, adult sibling relationships, and career changes. She understands the feelings of invisibility and devaluation that can arise during this stage of life, and she believes that working with a therapist of similar age can foster a deeper connection and understanding. Gretchen creates a safe and nurturing environment where clients can dismantle long-standing patterns developed earlier in life. Her therapeutic approach encompasses various modalities, including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Feminist and Relational techniques, allowing her to tailor the healing process to individual needs. She guides her clients in articulating their thoughts and emotions, unveiling their innate wisdom, and facilitating transformative change. Recognizing the emotional turmoil that can stem from competing relational demands, she invites clients to reflect on their personal narratives and challenge limiting assumptions. Through this reflective journey, clients have the potential to reclaim clarity, kindness, and strength, transforming feelings of frustration and sadness into empowerment and mastery.
