Kate Shields Stenzinger

Marriage and Family Therapist

I provide compassionate therapy for children and adults, bringing creativity, mindfulness, and practical strategies into every session. My goal is to create a safe, inclusive space where clients can explore both feelings and thoughts. In this space, curiosity and reflection lead to tangible growth, new coping skills, and stronger relationships.

For children, I use child-centered play therapy to help them navigate social, behavioral, and academic challenges. Through imaginative and supportive activities, young clients can express themselves, build confidence, and develop healthy problem-solving skills.

For adults, my approach is grounded, warm, and collaborative. I support people facing stress, burnout, career transitions, chronic illness or cancer, and family changes. Together, we untangle patterns that no longer serve you and create actionable strategies to improve wellbeing, resilience, and balance.

With 15 years of experience in healthcare leadership, I understand the emotional toll of high-responsibility roles, caregiving, and complex systems. This background informs my work with clients of all backgrounds, helping me offer insight and empathy for both professional and personal challenges.

In sessions, I often integrate creative tools, mindfulness exercises, and reflective practices. These approaches encourage deeper insight, practical problem-solving, and emotional growth. My style is warm, collaborative, and supportive—helping clients feel understood while exploring change in a safe space.

If you are looking for compassionate therapy for children and adults that combines creativity, mindfulness, and practical strategies, I would be honored to support your journey. Together, we can build resilience, gain fresh perspectives, and create meaningful change in your life or your child’s life.
