Kathy Jablonski

My practice includes clients dealing with a range of issues, including anxiety and depression, relationship problems, problems with children, teens, adult children, issues like drinking and overweight, workplace issues, pandemic-societal adversities. For concerns and problems with children and teens, the therapy is with parent(s). Age range of my clientele is 25 and older. I work to offer therapy as a collaborative effort, where the client is the expert on her or himself, and the therapist brings a neutral presence as well as systems theory perspective to what a person is dealing with, and an assistance in defining what needs to change. Clients find that getting to know more about emotional patterns of functioning in themselves that repeat in relationships open up pathways for treating problems they or their others are dealing with. Emotional patterns can result in blaming self or others, guilt, or anger, lack of motivation, emotional isolation, physical illness. When a person can begin to view the problems they face with more objectivity and have "a way of thinking" about intense feelings, a sense of their own resourcefulness emerges. This can be an immediate source of calming in acute distress, and can become a way of working at life problems over the long run. With a prior career as clinical nutritionist, I also assist clients with health issues or weight management or eating disorder issues, where emotional issues get in the way of desired lifestyle changes.
