Katy Pacino (They/She)

LMFT

I am Katy, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Sex Therapist, and I am so grateful you are here.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California

About My Clients

At this time I provide therapy exclusively to adults. I work with individuals and couples/two or more partners focusing on a range of clinical issues including but not limited to depression, infidelity, sexual orientation and gender exploration, various sexual concerns, low self esteem, life transitions, and relationship issues.

My Background and Approach

I believe in using a collaborative approach to therapy and acknowledging you are the expert of your experience. I use narrative therapy which seeks to separate the person from their problem saturated story and identifying how dominant discourses have shaped your understanding of yourself. I use foundations of emotionally focused therapy (EFT), an attachment based theory, with my couples/partners, focusing on how attachment styles and experiences shape how we interact in our partnerships .

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a queer non-binary person I understand some of the complexities the LGBTQIA+ community faces and the need for culturally sensitive clinicians. I recognize the affect of systemic oppression within the therapeutic field. I work hard to nurture a space where my client is the expert of their life and I am merely supporting them in their goals. If you feel I might be able to support you, then please reach out so we can schedule a free brief consult to discuss your needs and goals.
