Katherine Kluefer is a career-changer who retrained in Mental Health after several decades in the commercial sector in the US and France. Having seen the impact a gifted therapist can have in the life of someone who is suffering, she focused her studies in areas where an increasing number of people are struggling, working with patients experiencing Borderline Personality Disorder, major life transitions, and Eating Disorders.
During a year-long internship at the The Renfrew Center for Eating Disorders, Katherine ran psychoeducation and topical groups. She also worked one-on-one with patients 20-56 years of age. Her research and volunteer work has brought her-face-to-face with the struggles of first-generation college students in the US. Katherine has also trained in the use of psychological testing to unearth a patient's deeply buried conflict.
Currently, Katherine conducts sessions both via telehealth and in-person. At each meeting, she asks the patient to arrive with a short list of topics to ensure that the most pressing issues are covered within the time together.
Adjustment difficulties & disorders - Support around adapting to new and/or challenging life circumstances; skill-building for improved stress management and reduction of anxiety.
Eating disorders & disordered eating - Reducing unhealthy eating patterns, beliefs, and behaviors, such as restricting, purging, and binging; healing the emotional pain surrounding disordered eating
Depression - Providing support and promoting healing of hopelessness, low motivation and energy, sadness, irritability, sleep disturbance, and loss of interest and pleasure in life
Anxiety - Coping with excessive worry, nervousness, or stress; intense discomfort in social settings (social anxiety); sudden and intense feelings of panic (panic disorder)
Trauma - Coping and healing after threatening or scary events, such as witnessing accidents or experiencing sexual, verbal, emotional, or physical abuse
