Katherine Vaughan

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“I am a Therapist and have been providing mental health services for 4 years in outpatient and in home settings.”

About Me

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with four years' experience, I support individuals, couples, and families. I help clients navigate relationship challenges and build stronger connections. We explore communication patterns together, fostering understanding. Sessions in my office or your home offer a safe space where every voice feels heard. My aim is to help you find practical ways forward, together.

Approach

Helping people find clearer communication and steadier footing often starts with focusing on small, practical shifts in everyday moments. I offer sessions in Hartford, online in English, or at home, and I keep a steady pace—brief check-ins, focused exploration, and simple exercises to try between meetings. I use gentle skill-building, mindful attention to thoughts and emotions, and structured reflection to interrupt unhelpful patterns and ease anxiety, anger, or relational strain. This collaborative, down-to-earth way tends to suit adults, couples, and families seeking manageable change.
