Dr. Katari K Brown, PhD, ABPP

Preferred Name: Katari

About Me

I use primarily a cognitive-behavioral approach, while incorporating mind-body tools and inviting spiritual insight and understanding. I offer specialized trauma processing treatment (EMDR, PE, CPT), and help working with food and body image concerns (CBT-E, intuitive eating, health at every size, ERP). I welcome individuals and couples, inclusive of LGBTQ+ identities, accommodating nontraditional relationship and sexuality (consensual nonmonogamy and kink friendly). I also offer longer term insight-oriented therapy as well as address specific life stressor concerns, and psychoeducational groups, such as smoking cessation, stress management, chronic pain management, intuitive eating, or other topics as requested.
