Katherine Reusing, Ph.D. LMFT, LPC, CPCS

I specialize in working with victims of trauma and its effects from childhood abuse, neglect, and relationship injuries suffered as an adult. I am a certified trauma professional.

I believe that therapy is a process that can empower you to make the changes you want to be happy. Change is a journey we will take together to resolve the issues that are holding you back from becoming the person you want to be. My experience has led me to believe that most self-defeating behavior is rooted in childhood emotional injuries. These injuries lead to unhealthy adult relationships that are multigenerational and repetitive for the individual. I have found that relational wounds, especially those suffered in childhood, are the deepest. These wounds left unhealed and unexpressed do psychological, emotional, physical, and spiritual damage that lasts a lifetime. These unexpressed feelings leave us in a reactive mode. When emotions are acknowledged and validated, one can choose how to act in the situation bringing fulfillment and happiness. Doing my own work in therapy led me to become a therapist because it really helped change my life. Taking that first step to ask for help was the hardest but worth it.
