Dr. Katherine Walker, CA Psychologist 15553

Dr. Katherine Walker is a recently retired psychologist who spent more than three decades working within a large health care organization, serving both as a clinician and as a manager.

Over the course of her career she supported a wide spectrum of people - from those managing serious mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia to individuals facing life transitions including divorce, bereavement, or workplace stress.

She completed undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley and, after a brief period working as a respiratory therapist, pursued graduate training at the California School of Professional Psychology.

Her therapeutic approach is grounded in a strong belief in the inherent strengths and goodness of people. She emphasizes that progress in therapy stems from the active efforts of the client together with the therapist's guidance.

Dr. Walker holds a California psychologist license (CA Psychologist 15553) and draws on training in Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic therapy. Her areas of practice have included stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar and depressive disorders, LGBT concerns, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related matters, parenting, self-esteem, career and life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD, with additional focus on subjects such as abandonment, attachment issues, and first responder concerns.

She is not accepting new clients.
