Kate Loree LMFT, ATR, MBA
Psychotherapist License No. MFC 50118
In my private practice, a primary focus is helping couples and dating singles negotiate relationship boundaries ranging from traditional monogamous ideals to incorporating open, polyamorous, kink or swing lifestyle practices. As a relationship model is clarified, emotional support and guidance is provided to improve emotional security, connection, and confidence. I’m affirmative, informed, and supportive of LBGTQIA, BIPOC, sex worker, kink, and non-monogamous communities.
In addition, I have two decades of experience working with adults who have experienced trauma. Examples of trauma include sexual or emotional abuse, neglect, or experiencing societal bigotry, such as, sexism, racism, ableism, body-shaming, and more. In the case of trauma, I utilize a blend of EMDR (eye movement, desensitization and reprocessing) and somatic psychotherapy as preferred healing modalities. I also have twenty years of experience working with those diagnosed with a psychiatric illness, such as mood disorders and personality disorders.
I’m a registered art therapist and I’ve worked with individuals, couples and groups to bring unconscious material to the surface facilitating insight and healing. Whether they are an artist or someone who enjoys the creative process in conjunction with their healing process, this modality can benefit anyone. I have a special interest and love for this modality.
My master’s in business administration (MBA) and corresponding work experience has allowed for a greater understanding of professional stressors and challenges within the business world and a deeper understanding of the L.A. entertainment industry.
