About Me
Hello! I’m Kathryn Wood, and I provide therapy for teens and adults who want care that is compassionate, practical, and evidence-based. My approach is collaborative and individualized, which means we work together to understand what you’re dealing with, identify what is keeping you stuck, and create a treatment plan that fits your needs, goals, and daily life.
I aim to make therapy feel useful, supportive, and grounded in real change. Whether you’re struggling with intrusive thoughts, anxiety, depression, trauma, neurodivergent overwhelm, sleep problems, or body-focused repetitive behaviors, we’ll focus on building tools that help you feel more steady, more capable, and more like yourself.
OCD
OCD can be exhausting, confusing, and isolating. Intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors can take over your attention, drain your energy, and make everyday life feel much harder than it should. In therapy, we work to better understand the cycle of obsessions, anxiety, avoidance, and compulsions so that OCD has less control over your life.
My work with OCD is grounded in evidence-based approaches including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Treatment is collaborative and paced to help you build confidence, reduce compulsions, and respond to uncertainty in new ways.
Anxiety & Depression
Anxiety and depression can affect every part of life, including your energy, motivation, sleep, relationships, and ability to feel present day to day. You may feel overwhelmed, emotionally shut down, stuck in negative thought patterns, or constantly on edge. Therapy can help you better understand these patterns and develop more effective ways to cope.
I use approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients build emotional awareness, distress tolerance, flexibility, and practical coping skills. Our work will focus on helping you feel more grounded, more engaged, and better able to move toward what matters to you.
ADHD & Autism
For neurodivergent clients, many traditional strategies can feel unrealistic or simply not designed with your brain in mind. ADHD and autism can affect attention, organization, emotional regulation, follow-through, burnout, and self-esteem, especially when they overlap with anxiety, depression, trauma, or OCD.
I offer customized treatment plans for neurodivergence that are practical, flexible, and supportive of how you actually function. My work may include CBT, DBT, and integrated executive function coaching to help with structure, planning, overwhelm, self-understanding, and sustainable daily routines.
Trauma
Trauma can show up in many ways, including hypervigilance, intrusive memories, emotional numbness, panic, avoidance, shame, and feeling unsafe in your own body or relationships. Therapy can help you process what happened, reduce the intensity of triggers, and begin to feel more grounded in the present.
My trauma work incorporates evidence-based approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Treatment is tailored to your pace and needs, with the goal of helping you build safety, stability, and lasting healing.
Insomnia
Sleep problems can affect everything - mood, focus, energy, resilience, and the ability to cope with stress. When sleep is disrupted, other mental health symptoms often become harder to manage. Therapy can help address the habits, thoughts, and nervous system patterns that keep sleep problems going.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) to help clients improve sleep in a structured, evidence-based way. Our work focuses on practical changes that support more restful sleep and better overall functioning.
BFRB
Body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), such as skin picking and hair pulling, can be distressing, hard to control, and often deeply misunderstood by others. These behaviors are not simply “bad habits.” They are often connected to stress, tension, sensory needs, emotion regulation, or automatic coping patterns.
Treatment focuses on increasing awareness, understanding triggers and urges, and building alternative responses that are realistic and effective. I use Habit Reversal Training (HRT) to help clients reduce these behaviors with compassion, structure, and practical skill-building.

Good Faith Estimate
Our clients have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" regarding the cost of their care. Under the law, healthcare providers are required to provide patients and/or clients with an estimated cost of goods and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency goods or services. This includes ancillary costs such as medical tests, prescription drugs, consumables, and institutional fees. Your healthcare provider should deliver a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day prior to beginning paid services. If you receive a bill that is more than $400 over your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute.
For more information regarding the Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.
