Katerina Philbrick LPC

Katerina Philbrick, LPC, is a therapist in Guilford, Connecticut, working in person and online through her practice Mindful Nature Counseling & Psychotherapy. The heart of her work is therapy for women: anxiety, depression, and the transitions nobody prepares you for, from motherhood and divorce to the empty nest, menopause and retirement. Nature is often part of it: sessions can happen outdoors, as walk-and-talk therapy on a lakeside trail, or in a nature-filled space.

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy

For people dealing with severe or treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, OCD or substance use, she offers ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. Her role is the preparation and integration around the medicine: building trust, setting intentions, and making meaning of the experience afterwards. A partner provider handles the medical side, including prescribing and dosing safety.

Background

Before becoming a therapist she spent years working as a scientist, until a two-week stay in the White Mountains set her on the path to nature therapy. She describes her practice as helping women find their way back to themselves, often with nature as part of the work.
