Katie Cofer, MFT

She’s an amazing woman! Very calming, wholesome, positive, reaffirming — and investigative. I saw her once a week for about a year for EMDR and talk therapy following a weird attack in a parking lot — she helped me so much.
Really comfortable space
On Church, easy/​nice parking or MUNI or walk or bike to her office
She is a therapist registered with the California Victim Compensation program —
— so if you have been accepted into this program, she is a great counseling choice, I think.
So much love

I’ve been seeing Katie for just a little over a month now. I’ve seen 2 other therapists in the past and I can’t believe how different she is. She gives me useful tools and is helping me on my journey toward loving myself, being a better partner and and healthcare practitioner.
I called her because I was looking for someone in the Noe Valley area with a decent website, great Unilocal reviews and experience with EMDR (given the mounds of research that support this technique) and I’m glad I did. She’s not pushy, she listens well and offers advice when appropriate. More importantly she has helped me to process my emotions in a helpful way. Thank you Katie!

I decided to give Katie a call after reading the Unilocal review from adriene c. It had been years since I’d been in therapy, and I was looking for a therapist who could help me release some of the old gunk stuck in my psyche. I didn’t need more talk therapy, I needed something that healed my emotional body with a somatic approach, and my work with Katie over a six month period was simply tremendous. Katie is very skilled with EMDR therapy which essentially adjusts your brain so that painful memories from the past are neutralized. It was such a simple technique that had profound results, and I’m now a big fan of EMDR! Bottom line: Katie is a very talented therapist who truly facilitated my healing process. She is strong, compassionate, authentic, keenly perceptive, and kind. I completely, totally, 100% recommend her!

I posted a reveiw about my last therapist saying that he was the best ever. He was a student and really, really good at what he knew. I got to a point where I needed more, something else, and felt I needed a female therapist. Thru a few phone calls and referrals, I landed on Katie’s couch and I now realize that my former therapist was only preparing me for the work I’m doing with her.
She uses quite a few techniques that I can pick out but the most important ones are that she’s a keen listener, very intuitive and relies a lot on the somatic approach. Meaning, when you talk to her, she will watch your body language as well as listen to your words. She also points out when my voice changes or when I seem to have enthusiasm about something that I didn’t notice. She’s also helped me release some old tension by getting me to draw it out — I ended up with scissors and a needle and thread creating something that I was ready to get rid of — it was amazing for both of us that day.
Katie is a true gift in my life and if you’re here, looking her up to see if you should go with that referral you got — call her now. If you’re just cruising around looking for a therapist, you’ve just found an excellent one. Call her — talk to her — let her help you. :)
