About Kathleen Murphy

Hello my name is Kathleen,
My therapeutic style is warm, focused, interactive and compassionate. My style includes the ability to be structural and direct. Having worked in this field for 20 years I have gained my therapy experience from a range of concerns and populations.I completed my master’s degree in Counseling Psychology at Santa Clara University in California. Now I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida.
I will treat you as a unique individual and customize the therapy to meet your situation. I have enjoyed working in many different states from the East to West coast. This cultural experience makes my practice, one that is sensitive to many from a variety of cultural backgrounds and experiences.
As your therapist my approach is multidimensional drawing from Cognitive Behavioral, Positive Psychology, and Solution Focused.It would be my privilege to work with you in a safe and nonjudgmental space as you process, through the challenges life is presenting you right now.
Let’s explore your goals together and I will assist you in finding the joy you deserve in life. You are welcome to message me anytime through Better Help.
