More about Katherine
- 30 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I’d like to introduce myself. I am a practicing psychotherapist licensed in both Washington and California. My licensure is as a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) since 1989. My training working with individuals and families is informed by an educational and experiential foundation in human systems, so my perspective is through the lens of our human experience in context, both historic and present day. Early family experiences, present day relationships, work and school environments and community surroundings all impact our view of ourselves, others, and our relationship to the world.
I am excited to work with each of you to discover what can create for you a sense of hope, promise, self-regard, and general increased emotional health. Together we will look to those positive possibilities to inspire action to address and change what holds you back and stands in the way of a true sense of wellbeing and personal agency.
I have worked in the field for a long time in multiple settings from hospitals and public health to military bases, agencies, and small practice offices in rural and urban communities; from these varied experiences I have developed so much respect for the diversity of human experience and the personal and unique nature of each individual’s set of challenges.
I am trained in many approaches and find that the core of effective work is the quality relationship with you, the client, and the level of understanding and trust that grows out of listening, challenging, and encouraging positive action. I will draw from a number of proven effective models of therapy as appropriate to help you find your way, and our work will be dedicated to moving you towards your personal goals.
I truly look forward to our time together.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Katherine has been such a help to me in my times of need. She always has open slots available in emergency or if you just ask. Katherine has made me feel so much better about myself and my feelings towards certain things. I would recommend this woman to any woman out there who needs to have a boost in confidence or just to help you through a tough situation. Katherine is the therapist for you!
Katherine is a wonderful therapist, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her. She is extremely attentive, and engaged with me throughout each session, rather than just listening but not saying much. I also appreciated her nuanced and compassionate approach that made me feel comfortable sharing things that can be hard to say aloud or put into words. She helped give me the space and support to express myself, while also sharing her insights into what she was hearing. Her suggested prompts for things to think/write about between sessions were also very helpful. I wholeheartedly recommend Katherine Weller.
Katherine is lovely! She is very personable and attentive. She has great insight and refreshing perspectives that I found to be extremely helpful. Highly recommend!

Thank you for being amazing!
