Welcome to KNW Counseling, my private counseling practice in Orlando. My name is Kathryn, and I am a Florida native and licensed therapist who provides therapy and mental health counseling in Orlando, FL.

Serving Winter Springs, Oviedo, Metro Orlando, and Winter Park areas, my office is convenient and easily accessible for in-person counseling sessions. I also provide online counseling in Florida for those who live anywhere in the state of Florida.

Today is the day to reach out, tomorrow is the day to feel better

I imagine you might be skeptical about therapy or possibly afraid to ask for help. Whatever the case may be, you are overwhelmed and need support from an unbiased and nonjudgmental professional.

Therapy with me is designed to be a healing and empowering experience in a safe and nonjudgmental environment. Together we will delve into the complexities of your experiences, reflecting on the challenges you’ve faced and the resilience you’ve demonstrated. My approach focuses not only on where you are now but also on the narrative that has brought you here.

My aim is to help you create a life where you feel more settled and in control. In therapy, I provide a space where your past survival strategies are acknowledged as valid responses to your circumstances. Now, as you seek to transform your life, my role is to support you in cultivating agency and determination for your present and future.

Along with providing you with practical skills and knowledge, I will consistently meet you where you are, offering compassionate support that respects your resilience and empowers you to shape the life you desire.

Along with counseling in Orlando for anxiety treatment, I specialize in therapy for trauma (Complex PTSD and PTSD), stress management, and individual therapy for relationship issues.

Reach out today for a consultation to learn more about how we can work together.

Kathryn offers integrated, trauma informed, holistic mental health counseling. Her therapeutic approach draws from training in various evidence-based therapeutic modalities for anxiety treatment as well as trauma & PTSD recovery.

What is an integrated approach?

Integrated therapy is a comprehensive approach that carefully blends together techniques from different evidence-based therapeutic practices to provide a more tailored and effective plan for each client. This method is intentional and grounded in a theoretical base; the choice of therapy is guided by your individual preferences and goals, as well as Kathryn's training in specific modalities, education, and clinical experience.

What is evidence-based?

Evidence-based treatments are backed by scientific research and have been proven effective through studies. These therapies are recognized as "treatments that work" because they are based on empirical evidence, ensuring that clients receive the most effective care possible.
