Professional statement

Katie Rowbotham is an Associate Marriage and Family psychotherapist based in Los Angeles. Katie works with teens and adults who are working through anxiety, depression, trauma, navigating life transitions, and relationships friends and family. Katie works from an intuitive place, weaving different orientations and practices depending on the client she is sitting with. Katie believes in meeting her clients with an approach that makes sense to and for them.

Katie completed her Masters in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles, with interest in Mindfulness, Trauma and Recovery, and Addiction and Recovery. Katie previously worked in a community setting, offering free therapy services for those who needed the help or were impacted by COVID-19. Katie has experience working with clients on topics such as neurodivergence, sexuality and gender, trauma, addiction and self-exploration.

Katie works from an eclectic lens. She is trauma-informed, spiritually aligned, mindful and compassionate-centered. Katie utilizes tools and skills building when helpful while also focusing on the relational process of healing. Katie is currently furthering her training in Somatic Experiencing as well as Psychedelic Integration practices, both of which Katie is deeply passionate about in both her personal and professional life.

Katie works from two locations depending on what is more convenient for her client. She works from Encino for those nearer to the Valley as well as Mar Vista, for those on the Westside. Katie also offers Telehealth sessions via Zoom for California residents, not local to the LA area.


Message to clients

The most important part of therapy is creating a safe connection for vulnerability to come through. I enjoy working with clients who are ready to meet the parts of them that hold them back like anxiety, depression, identity exploration, and relationship issues or are ready to process experiences of trauma.

My clients describe me as direct, nurturing, empathic, warm, and grounded. We all think, feel, and experience life uniquely, and I intend to honor your uniqueness! I consider my approach holistic because it is about seeing and integrating all parts of you. Together we may explore how your past influences patterns and behaviors you find yourself repeating now. I find this to be an empowering way to cultivate understanding and compassion for ourselves. I also work somatically and often direct my clients to what's going on in their bodies. I believe this allows us to build awareness and trust with our inner wisdom. Ultimately we can only talk through things so much, I believe teaching our nervous systems to adjust to safety and befriend our emotions is transformative for experiencing change.

I am devoted to supporting my clients reconnect with the healed version of themselves that may be covered by pain, shame and other blocks. If anything you're reading here resonates with you, I invite you to reach out to me for a free chat.
