Kathleen O'Shea, B.A.

My therapeutic approach integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with humanistic principles. Creating a safe and non-judgmental space, I offer clients unconditional acceptance, warmth, empathy, and trust in their self-expertise. Within this space, I facilitate my client’s ability to express their vulnerable, authentic selves through a lens of self-compassion and acceptance. I adapt my theoretical orientation and integrate other theories as necessary based on clients’ cultural backgrounds and unique histories; e.g., incorporating multicultural and social justice theories to treat the complex trauma that can often co-occur with multilayered cultural identities.
