Kathryn Dietzway (she/her/hers) is a founder/owner and the clinical director of The Therapy Garden. As a clinical director, she pulls from her background in Sociology, Anthropology and Social Work to support a group practice of clinicians who are passionate about reaching and affirming diverse populations in their services.

 

Kathryn believes that psychotherapy should include an understanding of a person's holistic human needs, taking into account full mind-body wellness and connecting clients to adjunct healthcare and related services as needed. She is passionate about supporting her clients with compassionate, social-justice oriented therapy that focuses on the mind-body connection. 

​

Personal Statement to Potential Clients:

​

"You came into this world knowing intuitively how to meet your needs. Infants know when they are hungry and when they are satiated. Emotions are the bodies way of getting natural born needs met. There is no shame attached to feeling your feelings as a newborn baby. Then, your experiences, relationships and communities shape your natural born intuition around needs and expression, for better or worse. Perhaps you are here reading this because your family of origin, community or society has harmed your intuition. Perhaps you have slowly developed shame around your human needs and anxiety around who YOU even are authentically. You have a voice that matters, but maybe it's been years since you last heard that voice speak up (if ever).

​

I view my clients' mental health symptoms as being exacerbated by unprocessed harmful experiences from the past and present that have become frozen in the nervous system. The harmful experiences I work with range from attachment and developmental trauma to community, ecological and societal trauma. By reprocessing and releasing the frozen trauma, healing begins. It is important to note that healing looks different from person to person and is a non-linear, life-long process, rather than a fixed state or place you can get to and forget about."

​

While Kathryn works with a variety of human experiences, she works most often with clients who report a history of childhood and/or adulthood trauma and sees adults of all ages, most frequently ages 25-70.

 

Kathryn also works with couples looking to heal attachment and relationship trauma in order to benefit their relationships at present. She enjoys pulling in nervous system informed approaches to support couples in improving self-regulation, emotional awareness and communication styles. Kathryn has a knack for seeing past surface level issues that couples experience and getting to the root of their struggles.

​

Kathryn's focus is in providing therapy through a lens of attachment, neurodevelopment, information processing and reconsolidation, somatic psychology and ecotherapy.

​

​Education: Kathryn earned her undergraduate degree in Sociology with a minor in Anthropology at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in 2012. She earned her Master's degree in Social Work from Louisiana State University in 2015.​

​

Professional values: In therapy, Kathryn acknowledges the impact of systemic and macro-level problems such as racism, climate change, income inequality, among many others, on her clients' individual biopsychosocial experience. She works from an anti-racist. decolonial perspective. When it comes to conversations about food and body image, Kathryn works from a weight-neutral, non-diet approach and incorporates intuitive eating and HAES principles. She works with clients of diverse cultural, religious and spiritual backgrounds, incorporating the client's unique values and practices upon request.​

Intensive Sessions:

Intensives are longer sessions which allow clients to get more therapy in at once. Some clients  find it helpful to schedule 1-2 full days of therapy several times a year. Others find it helpful to come 2-3 times in one week for 2+ hours each day. The most comon intensive offering I facilitate is 5-6 hours of therapy in one day, with several breaks throughout. We are able to customize intensives to fit with client needs. A screening and 90 min intake session must occur before our first intensive in order to maximize our intensive sessions. EMDR Intensives can be an adjunct to your primary therapy; in these situations Kathryn likes to coordinate with client's primary therapist to maximize your experience.
