Hi, I’m Katherine! I’m a warm, down-to-earth clinician who believes therapy should feel like a conversation with someone who genuinely gets it—not a place where you feel like judged or lectured. I’m a big believer in being able to laugh together when the moment calls for it, while also making space for the hard stuff. I’m caring but goal-oriented, and I’ll work with you to figure out what you want to get out of therapy and help you take steps toward getting there.

Therapist

My philosophy is very Jungian-based. I offer a masculine perspective to help those in learning about how to help relate to themselves better and then offer better relationships with others. My work is centered on the truth that when we see reality we are set free. The matrix keeps you stuck and enslaved. My mission is to help people free themselves so they can connect to their true nature and feel more fulfilled. I use health, nature, sexuality, and spirit to help others.

It takes two to speak the truth: one to speak, and another to hear - Thoreau

I strive to help clients by being curious, kind, reliable, and insightful. This is how I believe therapy helps people to grow, and to ultimately feel better about themselves and their lives.

I primarily work through a psychodynamic lens, focusing on a client's emotional life, exploring connections between a client's past and present, and addressing internal conflicts. I also use ideas found in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy such as exploring thought patterns and negative core beliefs.

Tim Briggs

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


I’m Tim Briggs, LICSW, and I have more than 13 years of experience in behavioral health. I created MMH Counseling Services to give men a place for honest conversation, practical support, and real-world solutions.

My focus is helping adult men deal with stress, improve relationships, communicate more effectively, navigate major life changes, and feel more confident in everyday life. I also help fathers strengthen their relationships with their children and become more connected, consistent, and confident as parents.

I offer virtual, in-home, and in-nature sessions for adult men in Massachusetts. The goal is simple: honest talk, useful strategies, and practical solutions that make sense in real life.
