About Me

I'm Kathleen Bishop, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker—also known as a therapist. 

I use my training as a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and use Health At Every Size® principles to guide my practice when working with clients who have a history of disordered eating and body image problems.

I am certified in EMDR.

I am trained as a Relapse Prevention Specialist (Gorski) and have experience treating Substance Use Disorders (alcohol and drugs). I also provide treatment and support for depression, anxiety, phase of life issues (like mid-life transitions and retirement). 

Through education, professional training, and lived experience, I support you to reconnect to the innate health and wisdom that resides in each of us.

Most importantly you are the expert in your own life. Therapy doesn't fix people instead it allows for the time, space and attention necessary to move through a difficult time and come out the other side to a better place.

I have lived in the Bay Area for most of my adult life and I was born and raised in Southern California.  I enjoy being out in nature, spending time with family and friends, my dog, the arts, book stores and Farmer's Markets.
