Kate Steadman, LCPC
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
10+ years specializing in family systems therapy
Families come in all shapes, sizes, and structures - and each one deserves support that honors its unique dynamics. Whether you're navigating parent-child relationships, sibling conflicts, blended family adjustments, or generational patterns, family therapy provides a space where everyone's voice matters.
I'm Kate Steadman, a licensed therapist with over 10 years of experience helping families of all kinds build stronger connections, improve communication, and work through the challenges that come with sharing life together.
My approach is grounded in Systems Therapy, recognizing that families function as interconnected units where each person's experience affects the whole. I combine this with Emotionally Focused Therapy and Solution-Focused approaches to help your family move from conflict to connection.
You don't need to have all the answers before our first session. I'll help guide the conversation so everyone feels heard and respected.

Parent-Child Relationships
The bond between parent and child evolves constantly, and sometimes those transitions create distance or friction.
Whether it's navigating a child's developmental stages, rebuilding trust with a teen, or strengthening connection with an adult child, therapy can help bridge the gap.
Blended & Diverse Families
Stepfamilies, multigenerational households, chosen families, co-parenting arrangements - every family structure has its own strengths and challenges.
I work with families in all their forms to build respect, establish healthy boundaries, and create a sense of unity.
Family Transitions & Stress
Major life changes - divorce, loss, relocation, new family members, illness - can shake even the strongest family foundation.
Together, we navigate these transitions with care, helping your family adapt and support one another through change.
How Family Therapy Helps
A Systems-Based Approach
Families are complex systems where each member's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors affect everyone else. Rather than focusing on one "problem" person, we look at the patterns and dynamics that shape your family's interactions.
When we understand how these patterns work, real change becomes possible. Old cycles break. New ways of connecting emerge. Each family member learns to be heard while also listening.
My approach draws from:
- Family Systems Therapy
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
- Solution-Focused Therapy
- Attachment-based interventions
These evidence-based methods help families build healthier communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen bonds that last.
