About Dr. Katinka Hammerich

Aloha! I am delighted that you found me! I am a clinical social worker and an educator, deeply committed to embrace and empower those I work with towards living fuller, richer lives. I offer individuals a safe, supportive, encouraging, non-judgmental, and nurturing space where they may explore and grow. I help clients, by empowering them to take charge of their lives. My role is to illuminate the path to their ideal future. As a therapist, I draw inspiration from many sources, and have found that an integration of approaches and practices that are uniquely curated to each person and family tend to be especially effective in bringing about truly meaningful and sustainable change.

As an EMDR trained therapist, I help clients process painful life experiences that continue to impact them. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) is a well-researched, integrative approach, that has been proven effective for the treatment of trauma. It utilizes the innate growth and healing mechanisms of the human nervous system. Clients report that they have received amazing benefits from EMDR. There is nothing more powerful for clearing trauma, abuse, and associated symptoms, including anxiety, depression, stress and grief. I also offer other therapeutic modalities, such as solution focused and psychodynamic therapy. With a Jungian perspective and being an educator of myth, I often integrate myths, archetypes, and dreamwork into my clinical work.

It takes courage to face and embrace change. I believe that we are wired for wellness and integration, and that our innate resilience and ability to heal is greater than we can fathom. I help clients create relationships where they are comfortable enough to grow. It is through authentic relationships that we find the strength to dream big. I offer my expertise and guidance to help connect clients to that which they hold as most important. You deserve to receive competent, non-judgmental, and compassionate guidance when reaching for those goals. My services are personalized to suit individual needs. Let me assist you in discovering the depths of your personal power and positive change towards a more fulfilling and happier life.Together we can find deep and meaningful connection and insight, find joy, trust, and grow. Let’s begin the process of healing!

“Dr. Hammerich is excellent!<br /> I wanted a therapist who would challenge me, help me get down to business, get to work and maximize the time in our sessions. Dr. Hammerich is absolutely that; every session feels insightful and productive!”

“She’s the best. Have been talking to her on and off for ages and always remembers everything I’ve ever told her which makes me feel heard. I feel supported at all times but also have taught me how to help myself.”

“Helpfull”

“Katinka has helped me in so many ways. She really made me look inward and realize my triggers within my relationship. She also helped me personally to dig deep and invest in myself. <br /> I looked forward to our sessions everytime and felt like we built a good friendship. <br /> I would highly recommend Katinka to anyone struggling with communication in their relationships or need help personally with self worth.”

“I highly recommend Katinka! She has given me a safe space to communicate my feelings and struggles. She is encouraging, knowledgeable, and challenges me when necessary, as well. I had only been in therapy once before, and it unfortunately was not a pleasant experience; I was very hesitant and skeptical about trying again, but Katinka created a comfortable atmosphere right off the bat that allowed me to be optimistic about my healing journey. I can’t thank her enough!”

“Katinka made me feel understood on our first session. I’m a very deep person and my emotions and thoughts can be both complicated and intense. Past therapists haven’t really known how to help me because other than giving me cliche advice. Katinka has giving me better help(haha) and advice curated specifically for me rather than just life tips that I could have found on google.”

“She’s great”

“Katinka is the perfect fit for me. She is the best!”

“Wonderful non judgemental listening , great suggestions for helping me to manage stress and emotions properly”

“Katinka is a kind and supportive therapist who listens to my concerns and addresses them. She offers valuable suggestions.”

“Katinka has been a great therapist. She listens to all of my stories and gives great advice and suggestions on things i should do and try so that i can get closer to my goals. Since I have been talking to her, some things I was hoping to do that I never thought I could do have happened. My relationships with others have grown. I am learning to follow more boundaries that will allow me to get closer to my goals. She makes you think if you really know people and that makes you be more open and not afraid of communication with others.”

“Miss Katinka is a really great therapist! I look forward to my sessions with her and it always makes me feel like I’m talking to a close friend who gives me solid advice, checks in with me and reminds me of how far I’ve come. She is very emphatic and offers good solutions. I’ve been through a lot the past few years but having a therapist such as Katinka talking me through everything has made a big difference in how I’ve been able to handle things and make decisions. I’m very grateful to have been matched with her!”

“I’ve been with Katinka now since 1.5 years through two major negative in life and the transformation and growth I felt and still feel I can’t even put into words. I feel I set myself free, the awareness I’ve got about myself is invaluable. Katinka has everything to do with it, her way of getting me to know myself better on so many levels has truly transformed my every day life for the better. Forever grateful!”

“Katinka is warm, engaging, and supportive. She has been an excellent help for many months as I was going through some of the toughest times of my life. Her wisdom, positive attitude and encouragement are uplifting and valuable. I highly recommend her and Betterhelp.”

“I love the work and support I get from Kantika. She is super accurate in pointing the things I need to see, and I m always looking forward for a session with her.<br /> She is joyful and have a great sens of humour, this is for me very valuable as it is a great way to calm down the dramas I experience.<br /> I am evolving, and learning how to put my boundaries and feel better with myself.<br /> I recommend her 100/100!”
