Psychotherapy with Wowlvenn Katzmiller, MFT

I work with individuals, partners, families and groups to explore the spoken and unspoken dynamics of of intimacy and boundaries with self and others, of parent/child bonding, and of navigating conflicts and wounding, past or present. My approach is holistic, body-oriented, offers use of expressive arts, and celebrates diversity, particularly of sexual orientation and partnering styles, gender, and spirituality.
 
I consider therapy a collaborative process, so I work best with clients who have a sense of what troubles them and at least a vague vision for the differences they want. That's where I come in. I use my skills to help you narrow that gap. I follow your lead in setting goals together for the therapy while also utilizing my professional perspectives and experience. My intention is to support the integrity of your whole being--body, mind, emotion, spirit, and relationship to self, to others, and to your unique conception of the world in which you live.
 
While we will probably explore your past experiences, our focus will be on your present experiences and your hopes and desires for your future.
CURRENT GROUPS

PARTNERS and BODY LANGUAGE
A monthly drop-in workshop for partners aimed at increasing intentional use of body language in service of improved understanding and acceptance of the individuals within the relationship as well as expression of intimacy and boundaries within the relationship. Thursday 6-7pm. Call for next meeting date.
 
WHAT CAN I DO?
A short workshop for partners offering basic skills for recognizing states of emotional flooding and trauma activation, and for staying grounded and safe while offering support. Call for next meeting date.
 
SOOTHED SELF, SOOTHED BABY
Co-regulation group for mamas, papas, and babies...date and times to be determined. In this group, we will meet together with our babies and work experientially with regulating our own emotions and state of being in order to connect with our babies and assist them to regulate their emotions and state of being, and to increase secure attachment and bonding.
 
A MAMA WAS BORN
A weekly circle just for mamas to explore the experience of having given birth. We will honor birthing as a rite of passage, and provide a safe space in which to celebrate, honor, grieve, rant about, let go of, and share the joy, pain and confusion of birthing via the use of mindfulness, movement, creative expression, and a circle of women. Drop-ins are welcome if space allows; reservations each week are recommended.
