Katheryn Barton(She/Her/Hers)

Katheryn Barton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in St. Louis, MO. She meets with couples and individuals as they work through communication and relationship struggles. Many of her clients have stated how after working with her they are better able to navigate conflict and tough conversations. Katheryn is focused on helping her clients improve their relationships for a more meaningful connection.

Katheryn’s approach is rooted in Emotion Focused Therapy and some Gottman related themes and practices. Both proven to have great success when working with couples and are evidence-based approaches along with proof from interactional studies. She helps client’s notice their own physical and emotional reactions to one another and how that adds to a cycle that regularly plays out in their relationship. She introduces ways to take this new knowledge and apply it to make change.

Katheryn’s style is accepting, validating, non-judgmental and interactive. The clients are the experts of their reality and their perspectives, and she works with them to explore new perspectives as they move toward a deeper understanding of one another and thus, communication.
