Get to Know Me

Kathleen Someah, Ph.D.

she/her/hers

PSY31457

Welcome to my page and congratulations for taking the first step towards getting support. I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist and work with a variety of clinical concerns, including interpersonal difficulties, relationship challenges, addiction, attachment trauma, depression, and anxiety. I believe that everyone has a story and I love helping my clients rewrite a narrative of strength and resilience.


In addition to the aforementioned presentations, I am passionate about treating different forms of disordered eating and body image dissatisfaction. Prior to becoming a clinician, I participated in outreach efforts to raise awareness about eating disorders and also worked alongside a multidisciplinary team at Stanford Children’s Health, supporting children and adolescents with eating disorder-related medical complexities. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families in outpatient and inpatient contexts and have a deep appreciation for the impact of this illness. My lived experience with disordered eating lends itself well to my clinical passion for treating these afflictions and informs my commitment to guiding others along their recovery journey. I practice in an active and collaborative fashion that values therapeutic rapport and the unique needs of the individual. Although the path is not always linear, I believe that everyone is capable of full recovery and I find joy in helping clients realize their full potential. 


I also provide consultation and supervision to other therapists working with eating disorders, and have served as an invited speaker at various training sites across the San Francisco Bay Area.

A Bit About Therapy

Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or you are experienced with this process, the act of asking for help can be a difficult one. I do my best to make my clients feel at ease and view therapy as a collaborative process, during which we work together to identify solutions to your concerns. Session length is 50 minutes and I offer weekly and biweekly appointments.
