Kate Murphy, LCSW | Therapist in Chamblee, GA

MEET KATE

Hello

I imagine you’re ready for some relief and a change. You suspect a partner could be helpful even though it feels more natural to do things by yourself. I understand that mindset and also know that therapy offers a different kind of space to explore your past, present, and goals for the future.

My Committment

To support you in learning to acknowledge your strengths. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I’ll ask questions that may spark a new idea for you and offer observations where appropriate. You can bring a list of topics or show up and say, “I don’t know what I want to talk about.” Either works.

While I don’t always sit silently and nod my head, know that silence and time for reflection are important to the process. You can count on me to hold space for you with respect when things become hard or painful.

Therapy provides space to hear yourself.

A Little About Me

Working with people in the pursuit of deeper understanding, insight, and achievement of life goals is a privilege. I have an affinity for working with people experiencing anxiety or undue stress brought on by life transitions (career, relationships, grief). I take the work I do very seriously knowing that it takes a lot of guts to begin therapy.

I became a psychotherapist at mid-life. Prior to the career change, I worked at various organizations within positions of leadership so I understand the pressures of a 24/7 work world.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) working with individuals aged 18 and up. Personally and professionally, I’m part of the LGBTQ+ and adoptee communities. Originally from Southern California, I have been living in the Atlanta area with my wife and array of pets for over 20 years. When I am not in session, I find relaxing on my couch with a book or being outside drinking in the scenery equally restorative.
