KATE SNOW, LPCC, MFTC:
MY JOURNEY TO BECOMING A COUPLES AND FAMILY THERAPIST
I was born into a family of therapists, as my mom and dad met each other during their graduate training program to become family therapists. Although neither of them stayed in the field long-term, they both brought a heightened attunement, sensitivity, compassion, and knowledge of child-development to their parenting of my brother and I.
Resolving conflict, understanding each other’s emotional worlds, and helping each other to build important self-reflection and empathetic skills, were highly valued past-times in my family (and continue to be!) Early in life I developed a keen intuition for how other’s might be feeling, as well as an ability to extend support with open arms to my peers.
I completed my B.A. in Psychology at Hendrix College and completed research on communication between couples. Understanding how emotion could positively influence people’s communication and connection became a life-long passion of mine.
In my graduate studies to become a marriage and family therapist, I honed in on these themes even further after engaging in Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) training and developing my understanding of attachment theory. My passion for helping couples and families to develop a more secure bond, and enjoy more ease and joy in their relationships, has guided my work as a clinician and continues to inspire me daily. I consider it a deep privilege to support you and your family as you do some of the most admirable work people can do – to increase your understanding of yourself and those you love.
When I’m not in the office, I spend as much time connecting with friends and family as possible – usually over good food and wine! My husband and I also love to backpack in the Rocky Mountains, and we’re looking forward to introducing our new baby to adventuring out in nature this summer.
