关于我A little about me
Katherine Guo
你也许早已习惯做那个把一切撑起来的人。或许你很早就学会了察言观色、把自己的需要放到最小、努力让自己有用，或者用思考绕开那些曾经太难承受的感受。这些应对方式可能帮你维系了关系、获得了安全感、守住了重要的人。但随着时间推移，它们也可能让你感到疲惫、与自己疏离，或者困在你不想再重复的模式里。You may be used to being the one who holds everything together. Perhaps you learned early to read the room, keep your needs small, stay useful, or think your way around feelings that once felt too difficult to hold. These ways of coping may have helped you stay connected, feel safe, or preserve important relationships. Over time, though, they can begin to leave you feeling tired, distant from yourself, or caught in patterns you no longer want to repeat.
我与16岁及以上的来访者一起工作，常见的议题包括童年与关系创伤、复杂性创伤后应激（CPTSD）、哀伤、亲密关系困扰、过度思虑、完美主义、讨好型模式，以及情感上的疏离。我关心过往的经历如何持续影响我们爱人、保护自己和理解自己的方式。我也陪伴来访者探索移民与双重文化身份、跨种族与跨文化的关系，以及更广阔的文化与制度背景如何塑造了我们的归属感、应对方式和自我理解。I work with clients aged 16 and older navigating childhood and relational trauma, complex PTSD, grief, relationship difficulties, overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and emotional disconnection. I am interested in how old experiences continue to shape the ways we love, protect ourselves, and understand who we are. I also support clients exploring immigration and bicultural identity, interracial and intercultural relationships, and the wider cultural and systemic contexts that shape how we learn to belong, cope, and understand ourselves.
我的工作方式是关系取向、心理动力取向、体验式、依恋取向、部分自我（parts）取向并注重身体觉察的，同时保持灵活，回应你真正的需要。在需要更多结构、情绪调节或实用支持时，我也会引入技能取向的方法。我不会把同一套方法套用在每个人身上，而是根据你的目标、经历、优势和节奏来调整我们的工作。My approach is relational, psychodynamic, experiential, attachment-based, parts-informed and body-aware, while remaining flexible and responsive to what you need. I also bring in skills-based approaches when they help, particularly when more structure, emotional regulation, or practical support is what the moment calls for. Rather than applying one method to everyone, I tailor our work to your goals, history, strengths, and pace.
你可以期待一个温暖、协作而用心的空间：我们会放慢脚步，看见模式如何在当下展开，为那些一直难以安放的感受和需要腾出位置，并一起探索哪些方式曾帮你走过来，以及在这些熟悉的应对之外，现在还有哪些可能。你不需要在来之前就把一切想清楚。我们可以从此刻已有的开始：一种说不清的感觉，一段总让你不安的关系，一个你希望能中断的熟悉反应，或者那种隐隐觉得生活中有些东西不再合适的感受。You can expect a warm, collaborative, and thoughtful space where we slow down enough to notice patterns as they unfold, make room for feelings and needs that have been difficult to hold, and explore both what has helped you survive and what may now be possible beyond those familiar ways of coping. There is no need to arrive with everything figured out. We can begin with what is here: a feeling you cannot quite name, a relationship that keeps leaving you unsettled, a familiar reaction you wish you could interrupt, or the quiet sense that something in your life no longer fits.
工作之外，我喜欢阅读、烘焙、拼图、探索新餐厅，也喜欢用一部好剧放松下来。我还喜欢带着狗在湖边散步、探访咖啡馆——这些小小的仪式帮助我慢下来、保持好奇，也为休息和日常的小快乐留出空间。Outside of work, I enjoy reading, baking, doing puzzles, trying new restaurants, and winding down with a good series. I also enjoy long walks by the lake with my dog and café hopping, small rituals that help me slow down, stay curious, and make room for rest and everyday pleasure.
