Sebastian Katten

Sebastian Katten

Therapist

Virtual • California


You’ve been holding it together for everyone else, but inside, it feels like you’re unraveling. You feel trapped in exhaustion and stuck in the same place. It makes sense to feel anxious, disconnected, or uncertain when you’ve worked so hard for so long to survive in systems not built for you. I want you to know I see it, and I’ve seen healing happen, even when it feels impossible. I work with people with neurodiversity and members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community navigating trauma, anxiety, identity, and relationships. Beneath burnout and fear, a part of you is reaching for connection. That part matters, and it’s where we begin.
