Mental Health Counselor
Hello, I’m Katherine Decker, a pre-licensed mental health counselor with an MA from William James College.
I provide therapy services at our Chestnut Hill clinic. I have had the privilege of working with children, youth, and young adults in residential and university settings, supporting clients through anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, and ADHD. Taking the first step to begin therapy takes courage, and I want to validate you for being here. My priority is to provide a safe, affirming space where you feel truly heard as we explore your goals.
I offer a collaborative approach that can help you achieve your goals. Work can focus on improving relationships, enhancing communication, and increasing emotional regulation. I use a trauma-informed approach, drawing on CBT, AEDP, DBT, and motivational interviewing. I also use art and play therapy to empower young clients.
I believe that acknowledging your feelings and asking for help are two of the bravest things a person can do. It is not always easy to talk about what is on our minds, and I would be honored to be a partner with you on your journey to developing new skills and creating new understanding of yourself. I look forward to working with you!
