Group Therapy

Group Therapy

Group therapy offers a unique opportunity for connection and shared healing. In a group setting, individuals can share their experiences, gain diverse perspectives, and receive support from others who understand similar struggles. Our group sessions focus on various themes, such as anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, or personal growth. This collaborative environment encourages participants to learn from one another, foster accountability, and develop social skills in a safe space. Many find that the camaraderie and shared insights in group therapy enhance their individual journeys toward healing and self-improvement

Feelings are valid but that doesn't mean they are true. & Just because today feels heavy doesn’t mean tomorrow will too.

Meet Our Therapists

Kathrynn Mascarenhas

Welcome! I’m Katie,

I’m here to support you on your journey toward mental well-being. With compassion and attentiveness, I strive to empower clients to face their challenges and discover the hope for a fuller life. I recognize that many come to me with difficult and personal issues, and I’m dedicated to creating a safe space for exploration and growth.

   I also believe in the importance of supporting family members, friends, and colleagues of those facing mental health challenges. My approach is integrative and adaptable, tailored to each client’s unique needs, personality, and goals. I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems, Mindfulness, Psychoeducation, and Play Therapy.

In addition to therapy, I’m passionate about promoting overall well-being through nutrition, physical activity, and proper rest. My experience includes working with camps, youth groups, adults with mental disabilities, and programs for at-risk children and youth, including those in Latin America. Growing up in a foster family has also shaped my understanding and compassion for diverse experiences.


In my free time, I love exploring the outdoors, gardening, and traveling whenever I can.

If you think I might be a good fit for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out via the contact form below!

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a gentle, evidence-based approach that helps the brain heal from overwhelming experiences—whether those are big traumatic events or smaller, more subtle ones. You don’t need to remember every detail of what happened for EMDR to be effective. Using guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR supports the brain in reprocessing stuck memories so you can feel more present, grounded, and in control.
