About Marykate
Hi, I’m Marykate Pfeifer, LICSW.
Therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when anxiety, stress, or self-doubt weigh on you. I work with teens and adults who seem composed outwardly but feel drained and confused on the inside. My goal is to help make therapy approachable, practical, and supportive.
I use Solution-Focused Therapy to help you manage anxious thoughts, reduce overwhelming feelings, build confidence, improve boundaries, and feel more grounded. I bring a fresh, attentive presence and practical tools you can use in daily life. I have a background in Foster Care, Kinship Care and Adoption as well as insight into first time parenting and fostering. I enjoy working with teens and adults going through new experiences such as navigating new jobs, college, parenting and family dynamics.
