Kathryn Falbo-Woodson is a compassionate clinical social worker and therapist, holding an MSW and LCSW. She understands that stress is an inevitable part of life, but emphasizes the importance of how one responds to it. Recognizing that stress can be a catalyst for spiritual, physical, and emotional growth, she encourages clients to be aware of the emotional and physical changes that occur during challenging times. Kathryn believes that avoiding internal experiences due to fear can inhibit potential growth, and her goal is to guide clients through these difficulties. By using compassion-oriented and mindfulness-based strategies, she allows individuals to engage fully with the present moment. Kathryn expertly utilizes evidence-based approaches tailored to health promotion, relationship distress, and trauma-related conditions. With training in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), she fosters the connection between body and mind in the healing process. Additionally, she is Gottman trained in couples therapy and is proficient in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), meaning-making, and more. Kathryn recognizes the courage it takes to confront fears and change behaviors, and she is committed to offering unconditional positive regard while supporting clients through every stage of the therapeutic journey, alongside them with encouragement, compassion, and empathy.
