Relationship Therapy w/Kathryn

Black female therapist, Kathryn Cross provides relationship counseling.

Who are my Clients?

I help individuals overcome their biggest relationship hurdles. Whether single, dating, or married, I help find effective ways to identify and respond to their needs within the context of their relationships - the most important one being the relationship they have with themselves. A big part of being “emotionally fit” is to know how to cope with strong emotions. I will support you on developing ways to not only cope, but to heal through both self and co-regulation.

My clients often present with concerns pertaining to:

  • Struggles with not feeling like a "good enough"

  • Low self esteem

  • ADHD

  • Setting and maintaining boundaries

  • Feelings of guilt for not making "good" decisions

  • Feeling stuck due to traumatic experiences

  • Relationship issues such as infidelity, communication, trust, etc 

  • Difficulty communicating within their coparenting relationship without arguments

  • PTSD

  • Worries and fears about life struggles 

  • Being unable to express emotions 

  • Constantly beating themselves up

  • Feeling sad often 

  • Being unable to manage anger or regulate emotions

More about Kathryn

My Approach

My goal is to assist my clients in changing patterns that provided consistent struggles.  I want my clients to learn how to be the best version of themselves, even if that means creating a new version of themselves. 

Therapy sessions with me will be person-centered to encourage self-determination, self growth as well as finding solutions to problematic areas in their lives. l tend to use a cognitive approach to identify negative thinking and behaviors. I also use psycho-education as well as therapeutic activities such as meditation to help my clients have a more hands on approach to change. Ultimately, you will walk away from therapy with having developed effective coping skills to modify behaviors when experiencing distress, and regulate emotions during hard times. 

My Background

I have had a passion for helping others since an early age. In high school, I was  part of a peer mediation program that allowed students to assist other students who have had disagreements with each other. After earning a Masters degree from Grand Canyon University, I began working with children with dual diagnosis in the foster care program. After that, I began working in private practice working with adults and couples. My passion is to continue assisting others to make necessary life changes that benefits them in the best way possible, change their outlook on life, and allow them to view themselves and the world with clearer lenses.

    Get to the Root

    Your therapy will likely start out with having sessions either weekly or biweekly. With your Therapist, you will get a better understanding of your presenting concerns and how they came about. Your therapist will also help you assess your level of coping and teach you additional strategies.

  • Do the Work

    The bulk of your experience will be in doing the work, both in & out of sessions. You will work through implementing techniques to improve your mood and engagement in relationships in session, while completing tasks assigned by your therapist to further your progress.

  • Have Better Relationships

    This is the point where you get to be #RelationshipGoals. You are having fewer therapy sessions and experiencing emotional healing from past relationship trauma. You are in a place where you are feeling more competent to handle whatever comes next.
