ABOUT
Hello, I’m Kate Sherman!
Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you are here!
Feeling Stuck and Overwhelmed?
I’m Kate and I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW-S). I work with women who have anxiety, new mothers, and folks who are dealing with attachment/relational wounding.
Perhaps you have nights where your mind won’t settle even though the baby is asleep. Maybe you say you’re fine with doctors or loved ones because you’re afraid of what it will mean if you say how you’re really feeling. Maybe everyone keeps reminding you that the baby is healthy when you just want space to grieve not having the birth you desired. Or you feel like everything you once knew about yourself has been turned upside down in this new season of life.
I know how heavy and isolating these challenges can be, particularly when the systems meant to support you are inadequate. My hope in working together is that you will feel truly seen and understood.
Move Towards What Matters
I take a highly collaborative and experiential approach to therapy. The primary modalities I use are Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also have additional training in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International. My style is warm and genuine, and I enjoy bringing a touch of humor and creativity to the therapy room as well. Together, we can work on addressing the wounds that need healing and trusting that you are enough just as you are. That includes learning to bring in self-compassion amid the mistakes we all make along the way. I’ll help you get in touch with and move towards what matters most deeply to you. You deserve a life that feels like yours, and a motherhood that does too. I would be honored to be a partner on your courageous healing journey.
A Bit More About Me
Outside of the office, you will likely find me out in nature, on a yoga mat or in a Pilates class, or exploring museums and all the wonderful cultural things Cincinnati has to offer with my husband and son.
