Kathleen Rude

My training covers trauma, Hakomi mindful somatic therapy, attachment-focused eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and emotionally-focused couples therapy. I’m Kathleen Rude, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Los Angeles, California, and I practice in a collaborative, relational and LGBTQ+ affirming way.

I work with adults, couples and teens. I have also worked with children, and with partners of people who display borderline or narcissistic personality traits. I see artists and creatives, people in entertainment, tech and business, and therapists and healers.

My aim is to work with a feminist, anti-racist and anti-oppressive perspective. My practice is sex-positive, and I am knowledgeable about and affirming of kink and polyamory or ethical non-monogamy (ENM). Areas of focus include trauma, body awareness, self-knowledge and stress management. I have found that somatic work helps clients process experiences and gives them a way to care for themselves and manage stress, and I bring body awareness into therapy with consent.
