Meet Kate Fullmer, PLPC
Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor
Adults/Couples
Kate Fullmer is a provisionally licensed professional counselor who works with adults, with a strong focus on couples, intimacy, and sexual health. Much of her work centers on helping clients untangle the impact of rigid or harmful belief systems on identity, relationships, and sexual connection. She supports individuals and couples navigating sexual dysfunction, betrayal, relationship distress, adverse religious experiences, and personality-related concerns.
Kate has a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and experience teaching sex education and connection skills for both individuals and couples. Her work is especially focused on helping partners move out of cycles of disconnection, shame, and miscommunication, and into more honest, secure, and fulfilling relationships. She provides a calm, direct, and nonjudgmental space where clients can talk openly about what’s often hard to name, especially around sex, desire, and intimacy.
Kate’s approach is practical, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. She focuses on helping clients understand their patterns, build emotional awareness, and make changes that actually carry into daily life.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Kate uses EFT to help individuals and couples understand the emotional patterns driving conflict and disconnection. This approach focuses on attachment needs, helping partners feel more secure, responsive, and understood in their relationships.
- Gottman Method: Kate incorporates Gottman tools to improve communication, reduce recurring conflict, and rebuild trust. This work is structured and skills-based, while still addressing the deeper emotional dynamics underneath relationship distress.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is used to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that impact emotions, behaviors, and relationships. This is especially useful for anxiety, overthinking, and patterns that contribute to stress or disconnection.
- Imago Relationship Therapy: Kate uses Imago Therapy to help clients understand how early experiences shape current relationship patterns. Conflict is reframed as an opportunity for growth, with a focus on intentional communication, reducing reactivity, and building deeper connection.
- Integrative Approach: Kate tailors therapy to each client, pulling from multiple approaches based on what is most effective. Her focus is always on creating insight, improving connection, and supporting lasting, practical change.
