Kate Hamilton is a compassionate Clinical Social Worker and therapist who understands the immense demands life places on women. She recognizes that these pressures can often lead to neglecting self-care and relationships, resulting in feelings of imbalance. Clients may experience overwhelming anxiety or sadness, worrying about their futures, loved ones, or unresolved issues from the past. Kate creates a safe space for exploring these challenges, guiding individuals towards achieving a more balanced life. Through her expertise in therapy types including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Compassion Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), she helps clients identify their strengths, challenge negative thinking, and develop coping strategies for anxiety. Kate's experience extends to supporting young women facing depression, grief, trauma, and codependency, and she is particularly skilled in working with adult adoptees and Highly Sensitive People (HSP). With her warm and empathetic approach, Kate is dedicated to helping others heal from past wounds and break free from what holds them back.
