Katherine Weller, LMFT

Katherine Weller is a practicing psychotherapist licensed in both Washington and California. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), a credential that indicates specialized training to work with individuals, couples, and families; her LMFT licensure dates back to 1989.

Her clinical perspective is informed by a foundation in human systems, viewing each person within the context of early family experiences, present relationships, work or school environments, and community surroundings. This systems lens guides how she understands patterns of connection, self-perception, and interaction with the world.

Katherine brings extensive experience from a variety of settings - including hospitals, public health, military bases, agencies, and small practice offices in both rural and urban communities - and she has developed a deep respect for the diversity and uniqueness of each person’s challenges. She focuses on helping clients discover sources of hope, increased self-regard, and improved emotional health, encouraging practical actions to address obstacles that limit wellbeing and personal agency.

Her approach emphasizes the quality of the therapeutic relationship, combining careful listening with thoughtful challenge and encouragement. Katherine draws from several evidence-informed methods, including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior therapy techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work, tailoring interventions to the client’s goals. She is committed to partnering with individuals and families to move toward meaningful, self-directed change and greater emotional resilience.
