Katarina Schilling

My role as a therapist is to help clients feel safe to shine light on the parts of themselves they’ve been told to hide. I bring an open, accepting, and non-judgmental presence to sessions, creating a collaborative space where clients feel safe exploring their inner worlds and comfortable expressing their needs. Guided by curiosity and compassion, I trust that clients are the experts on their own lives and offer tools to help clarify those needs and move toward a life that feels true to who they are.

Operating from a systemic lens, I support clients in challenging social and cultural narratives that pressure them to fit molds that don’t feel authentic. I work with individuals who have felt the weight of masculine socialization and the shame or pressure it can create, as well as with relationships of all structures. I support LGBTQIA+ clients as they explore identity, gender, and sexuality. I invite clients to step into their most unapologetically authentic lives, strengthening their ability to communicate with clarity and openness and nurture relationships filled with trust and connection. Together, we replace shame with understanding, fear with curiosity, and create space for healing and growth.
