About Katherine
Dr. Katherine Walker helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports clients coping with relationship strain, parenting challenges, career changes, grief, and mood disorders. Her first priority is helping people feel understood and find practical ways to move forward.
She spent more than 30 years working for a large health care organization as both a therapist and a manager. Dr. Walker completed her undergraduate studies at the University of California, Berkeley and earned her graduate degree at the California School of Professional Psychology. She is licensed as a CA Psychologist, license number 15553.
Her style is straightforward and grounded. She believes people already carry strengths and builds on those assets. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills that can be used between meetings, and honest conversation about what is working and what needs to change.
Dr. Walker blends several approaches to suit each person’s needs. She draws from attachment-focused ideas to understand relationship patterns, from cognitive behavioral work to reframe unhelpful thoughts, and from client-centered methods to keep the person’s priorities central. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior work and psychodynamic thinking when helpful.
Many clients come for help with life transitions, long-standing mood concerns, or recurring difficulties in relationships and self-worth. She emphasizes collaboration, practical steps, and steady progress driven by the client’s efforts with her guidance.
