Meet Kate Fullmer, PLPC
Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor
Teens (14+)/Adults/Couples
Kate Fullmer is a provisionally licensed professional counselor who works with teens (14+) and adults navigating personality disorders, sexual dysfunction, betrayal or religious trauma, substance use, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She has a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and experience supporting individuals with serious mental illness, as well as teaching sex education and connection skills for individuals and couples. Kate provides a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their challenges, feel understood, and begin to build meaningful change.
Her philosophy is that therapy should be practical, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based approaches. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help manage emotions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to build on existing strengths, and psychoeducation to improve understanding of sexual health and relationships. Kate works alongside clients to deepen self-awareness, strengthen relationships, and develop tools for healing and growth.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy: I often use EFT to help clients slow down and understand what’s underneath their reactions, especially in relationships. This work is really helpful for people who feel stuck in the same arguments, disconnection, or patterns of not feeling seen or understood.
- Gottman Method: When working with couples, I use Gottman tools to clarify communication, reduce conflict patterns, and rebuild trust. I like combining this with deeper emotional work so couples not only learn skills, but also feel more connected.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: I use CBT to help clients recognize how their thoughts impact their emotions and behaviors. This is helpful for anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, and patterns that lead to stress and burnout.
- Integrative/Eclectic Approach: I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. I pull from multiple modalities depending on the client, focusing on what actually helps create insight, change, and sustainable growth.
