Hi, welcome! My name is Dr. Kate Wilsey, please call me Kate, and I am a clinical psychologist (licensed in Virginia) with 12+ years of education, professional experience, and specialty training. I am passionate about working with clients who have CPTSD and/or trauma and traumatic invalidation. Thus, I have extensive training in evidence-based trauma therapies, couples therapy, relationship therapies, and anger management. I gained the bulk of my training working with Veterans and Service Members across the US (literally, from Boston, MA to Tacoma, WA), but I also worked in primary care as a health psychology trainee on a grant in my doctoral program. I’m passionate about working with lgbtqia+ clients, People of Color, and Women.
In a world where judgment is so prevalent, I recognize that it’s not easy to feel safe or to trust others. So, I am patient and strive to always create a balanced therapeutic alliance where we can work together towards a common, shared goal in a nonjudgmental way. You’re here, reading my profile. That means you’ve taken time, thought about about therapy, and are deciding on a therapist. I hope that you feel proud of yourself for the steps you’ve taken thus far- it’s not easy. I hope to meet you! - Kate.

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.
