If you're carrying the weight of a painful relationship, a past trauma, or a difficult relationship with food or your body, you don't have to keep carrying it alone. I'm Katalin Szabo, a licensed psychologist (PsyD) with over a decade of clinical experience in the Bay Area and in my home country of Hungary. I work with adults and couples on three things I see most often: relationship struggles, trauma, and disordered eating. I've also integrated EMDR into my practice for clients working through trauma that talk therapy alone hasn't fully resolved.
My approach blends psychodynamic and attachment-based work with EMDR and trauma-focused techniques, tailored to what you actually need. Not a one-size-fits-all method. Some clients want to understand why a pattern keeps repeating. Others need their nervous system to finally feel calm or safe again. We'll figure out together which you need, and when.
"In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or step back into safety."
Abraham Maslow
Are You Ready?
If you're reading this, some part of you is already considering it, and that counts for something. You don't need to have the right words, a clear diagnosis, or even a "big enough" reason. Wanting things to feel different is reason enough.
It's normal to feel unsure. Maybe you're worried about being judged, or about what to even say in a first session, or whether therapy is worth the time and cost. Those doubts are common, and we can talk through them together, starting with a free 15-minute consultation, no pressure, no commitment.
Reaching out isn't a sign that something is wrong with you. It's a sign of strength, and often the first real step toward feeling like yourself again. When you're ready, I'm here.
