Kathryn Rouse, MSW, LICSW, Therapist in South Kingstown, Rhode Island

Kat’s therapeutic approach is relational and grounded in genuine human connection. She believes that healing occurs within safe, authentic relationships and works collaboratively with clients to foster greater self-understanding, self-compassion, and meaningful growth. Her practice is trauma-informed and integrates Parts Work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), experiential techniques, and somatic approaches.

Kat specializes in working with teens and adults who feel disconnected from themselves or find themselves caught in patterns of anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, low self-worth, emotional overwhelm, or relationship difficulties. She helps clients explore their inner experiences with curiosity and compassion while developing practical tools to navigate life’s challenges.

Together, Kat and her clients work to deepen self-awareness, strengthen self-trust, build effective coping skills, and create lasting changes that are aligned with their values, needs, and goals.

Outside of work Kat loves to spend time with her dog; two pugs and a pit bull.
