Kate Finney, M. A.

I was introduced to Kate through a close family friend who is an experienced therapist also practicing in the city. I couldn’t go to her for obvious reasons, so she referred me to Kate with nothing but praise. Having been to several recent sessions with Kate, I can now say that my friend’s assessment was spot on. Kate is able to be compassionate while exploring personal issues, but realistic and constructive while suggesting methods of addressing and resolving such issues. It is the ability to negotiate this delicate balance that makes Kate such an enjoyable and effective person to work with. I will certainly not hesitate to recommend Kate’s services to close friends and colleagues.

I’ve been working with Kate for a number of years. I thought a lot about what I could write in this review, without revealing too much about the personal things that she has helped me with. To put it simply, Kate is the type of person if you met on the street you would immediately be drawn to. She is warm, has an easy laugh, and whenever you are with her she invites you to be yourself, fully, and in turn you do. I feel like she can truly relate to me; she seems to ‘get it,’ for lack of a better term.
Kate has helped me gain clarity on some specific issues I’ve wanted to focus on, specifically my career and goals, but has also given me some long needed perspective on many relationships in my life, past and present. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist — specifically people who are intimidated by the thought of it. She’s very welcoming and dedicates her entire self to her work.

Kate is a skilled and intelligent therapist. She brings her whole self to the work through her authenticity and insight. As a colleague, I have been impressed with Kate’s ability to hold and gently work with the difficult feelings that arise during sessions. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for individual or couples therapy.

Kate is an amazing therapist, very intelligent and put-​together. I’ve been a colleague of hers for several years, and what continues to surprise me about her work is how easily she understands very complex situations – as if she is able to intuit what is going on and grasp the nuance of these experiences. What’s also important is that she really challenges you to grow. Highly recommended!
