Professional statement
Hi, I’m Katherine Torres Viruet, LICSW. If you’re here, chances are you’ve been carrying a lot—anxiety, trauma, burnout, life changes—and it feels heavy. I want you to know that I see you. I understand what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, unsure, and stuck.
Life can feel like an endless loop, where the weight of your past and present seems impossible to shake. Anxiety, trauma, burnout—these things don’t just go away on their own. They live with you, often without warning, and they shape how you see the world and yourself.
Healing is messy. It’s not linear, and it’s never as simple as just “getting over it.” But through understanding, compassion, and hard work, there is always a way forward. My approach focuses on helping you make sense of your story—how your past still shows up today, and what we can do to shift that.
I specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, childhood trauma, relationship issues, depression, and stress management. My goal isn’t to fix you, but to help you uncover the pieces of yourself that got lost along the way. Using trauma-informed therapy, energy healing, and a holistic mindset, I support you in getting to the root of things. This isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about getting real, sitting with the discomfort, and finding your way back to yourself.
