Therapist in Olympia, Washington Ezra Katz, Therapist

Ezra Katz helps adults and older adults build greater resilience, insight, and emotional well-being through compassionate, evidence-based therapy. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with LifeStance Health, he serves patients throughout Washington and works collaboratively with individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, and ADHD, as well as a range of other mental health concerns. Ezra provides individual therapy in a supportive environment where patients can explore their experiences, develop practical coping strategies, and work toward meaningful, lasting change. A particular area of passion for Ezra is supporting individuals who have been recently discharged from a psychiatric hospital. He understands that the transition back into daily life can be both hopeful and overwhelming, and he is committed to helping patients establish stability, strengthen recovery, and navigate the emotional and practical challenges that often arise during this period. His approach emphasizes continuity of care, self-understanding, and building confidence in the recovery process. Ezra also has extensive experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals and people navigating life transitions, relationship concerns, trauma, substance use challenges, and issues related to identity and personal growth. His therapeutic style is grounded in psychodynamic and relational therapy principles, helping patients gain deeper awareness of recurring patterns while fostering healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. He incorporates evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), while drawing from additional approaches when clinically appropriate. Since beginning his clinical practice in 2015, Ezra has remained committed to helping patients feel understood, respected, and empowered in their mental health journey. He earned his education from Saybrook University and The Evergreen State College, experiences that helped shape his holistic and person-centered approach to care. Outside of his professional work, Ezra enjoys fiber arts, drawing, spending time in nature, and connecting with friends and family. These interests reflect his appreciation for creativity, mindfulness, and meaningful relationships.
