Katrina Mautner(They/Them/Theirs)

Katrina Mautner is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist located in Oakland, CA. Katrina works with transitional aged youth (16-24) and adults in individual and relationship sessions. Katrina is passionate about supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community, including those who enjoy non-monogamous or alternative relationship structures. Many of Katrina’s clients straddle two or more cultures, races, or ethnicities, and the expectations placed upon them by existing simultaneously in different worlds. They may have trauma from their childhoods they would like to heal from, or they may face challenges with being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world, or with chronic health issues or disability.

Katrina’s clients seek therapy as a way to cope with overwhelming emotions, whether those are caused by relationship conflicts, a heavy academic or professional workload, or feelings of burnout. Katrina offers affirming, culturally competent mental health support for these individuals. Their practice is informed by Internal Family Systems therapy, a therapy approach that helps clients integrate the many parts of themselves, including the parts that have been impacted by trauma. They also include mindfulness practices in their sessions, as well as exercises in radical self-compassion, somatic therapy, and existential psychotherapy. They enjoy coming up with creative ways to move clients towards their goals and help them reach improved wellbeing and satisfaction.
