Philosophy

Each person is unique and has their own experiences and biology that shape their perspective of the world and their place in it. Everyone struggles and needs help sometimes. As a psychologist, I provide a warm space for people to feel authentically seen and heard. From this supportive relationship, together we try to understand struggles and use strengths for healing. I feel honored to walk alongside people as they grow from the challenges and opportunities in their lives.

Katherine Strong Woods, Psy.D. is a licensed Psychologist.
