Kate Jalma, PhD, LP
People, relationships, and families find improved insight and ease with me by addressing challenges related to: shame, post-traumatic suffering, legislated and implicit social danger, skills of maturation, neurodivergence, internal and external boundary issues, worry, over-responsibility, relational needlessness/wantlessness, and the complex work of grief. I hold extensive experience working with LBTQIA2S+ identified people/relationships/families. I specialize in treating trauma related to development, attachment/relationships, institutional/societal hate; eating/body and gender issues; parenting; and identity integration.
My approach is influenced by this body and life of mine. I am white, cis, lesbian, no visible disabilities, 45+ years old, parent, step-parent. PhD from the U of MN 2008, LP since 2010. I have advanced training in attachment, relational healing, grief, parenting, trauma integration, neuroscience, ethics, and integrity. I am warm and direct. Humor helps.
Too many forces work to repress our healing. The racism, misogyny, heterosexism, transphobia, classism, ableism, sizeism, and religious persecution inherent in white supremacy withhold/suppress our natural strategies for integrating and metabolizing fear, pain, trauma. Therapy helps us reclaim our belonging, boundaries, imperfection, calm, humor, and self.
