Welcome to all who are considering embarking on the journey of starting therapy. I invite you to take a moment to recognize that you have already begun the work by deciding to browse for a therapist. You are engaging in an act of care for yourself already.
 

My name is Katie Stubbers (pronounced “stoo-burs”), and my pronouns are she/her. My approach to therapy is collaborative and client-centered, meaning that the tools we choose to use together are specific to each client’s needs and preferences given their particular goals, cultural identity factors, and life circumstances. I draw upon the strengths that you already possess to inform which tools I offer. I also implement a systems-based approach which recognizes the various systems that clients interact with and are impacted by, including their family of origin, chosen family, social network, workplace or school, and societal systems.

​

The therapeutic tools that I use draw from polyvagal theory, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, somatic approaches, and mindfulness-based approaches. I employ a trauma-informed approach, and provide a safe and caring presence. I have specific experience providing therapy to survivors of intimate partner violence.

​

I am a master’s-level clinician practicing in the state of Oregon. I have a master’s degree in Applied Psychological Science from Pacific University, and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Idaho.

In my personal time, you can find me in the great outdoors hiking, snowboarding, camping, and playing with my dog. I am also a yogi and amateur rockhound.
