Talk therapy also known as cognitive behavioral therapy, helps discover how thoughts and behaviors can create obstacles in daily life and self-care. Moreover, CBT can include practicing mindful exercises or trying new beliefs and behaviors to replace old ones. In other words, trying something different. Dr. Kathy uses an integrative approach, blending Trauma informed practices with talk therapy sessions, including EMDR, Brainspotting, Yoga Nidra, Sound Healing and more.
Whether you’re suffering from depression, anxiety or stress, trauma, PTSD, addiction, or just having a hard time with life, talk therapy can be life changing and offer hope when you think there is none.
Trust and relationship building between a person and his/her therapist is essential to working together effectively and benefiting from psychotherapy. But this does take time.
Psychiatry.org reports that most people who receive psychotherapy experience symptom relief and are better able to function in their lives. About 75 percent of people who enter psychotherapy show some benefit from it.
The benefits include improved emotions and behaviors and have been linked with positive changes in the brain and body.
At Limitless Potentials, Dr. Kathy provides her clients a calm, secure environment to share and talk through issues.
Dr. Kathy created the Fun™ Program to teach clients how complex emotions and thoughts create stories which may be real, but keep you stuck. Learning how habitual ways of thinking (stories about the past and present) creates beliefs which is when the mind gets curious and shift happens!

Everybody….including Dr. Kathy who is the founder of this method, discovered paying attention to our thoughts by using the F word—Focus (WAIT–what am I thinking) can radically shift our habits and the stories we create about our lives by U—undoing what is keeping us stuck.

The program helps put a spotlight on and transform the life long habits of thinking and behavior that express themselves in physical and emotional distress.
