Kathryn Dietzway believes that individuals enter this world with an innate ability to recognize and meet their needs. Like infants who instinctively know their hunger and contentment, everyone has a deeply rooted intuition regarding their emotional and physical requirements. As life unfolds, experiences, relationships, and societal influences can distort this natural intuition, often leading to feelings of shame and anxiety around authentic self-expression. Her clients may seek her guidance due to the impact of their family of origin, community, or broader society on their emotional well-being. Kathryn perceives mental symptoms as being heightened by unprocessed traumatic experiences lingering in the nervous system—experiences that may stem from attachment issues, developmental trauma, or societal and ecological challenges. Her therapeutic approach emphasizes the reprocessing and release of these frozen traumas to initiate the healing journey. The very act of searching for support is a significant step towards recovery—a testament to one’s strength and resilience. Kathryn offers a variety of therapeutic modalities, including EMDR, trauma-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques, all designed to aid individuals in reclaiming their essence and emotional health.
