Kate Nulty, LCSW

Kate Nulty, LCSW Holistic Psychotherapy and Somatic Experiencing Practice. Healing cannot occur in isolation and as your therapist I will support and guide you on your path.

I am a Holistic Psychotherapist in private practice for over 15 years. I was classically trained in psychoanalytic psychotherapy but my style has evolved over the years to be more humanistic and includes various treatment modalities including Somatic Experiencing.I have a special affinity for working with adults who have survived childhood trauma including sexual abuse, physical abuse and developmental trauma. My practice also focuses on supporting women in their journey through motherhood, mood disorders, and relational therapy

I also work with children, adolescents and families in need of healing from divorce, medical trauma such as surgeries, falls and accidents, prematurity and NICU trauma, and attachment impairment.

Very sad to let you know that sweet Shirley has crossed the rainbow bridge today. She loved absolutely every human she ever met and spent many hours on the couch in my office helping soothe many of you. She retired from being a therapy dog after barfing all over one of my clients. She spent her later years staring in plays as Simba, Sandy, Toto, And Nana and reached overnight fame on TikTok as Shirley the Step Dog. We are heartbroken but grateful to have had 10 years with her. Thank you ❤️

We are doing a Pandemic and a War now and this is what I look like at the end of a full clinical day. Using my hand with my grandmother’s ring on it to heal my weary eyes and protect and soothe my third eye. Next a hot bath with epsom and Dead Sea salts to remove impurities from my body and then some gentle stretching before bed. The attack on Ukraine has deeply rattled all of us and stirred up present and ancestral trauma in anyone with persecution, genocide, terrorism, and enslavement in their history. You may be weeping, full of fear and panic, seething with anger or stuck in a heavy freeze state. All of it is ok.

My office view today. Thanks . Anyone know the name of the LB landmark peaking up in the right of the pic?

I am a Highly Sensitive Person. For years I just thought I was a pain in the ass! Too sensitive, too emotional, too picky, too finicky. Like the Princess and the Pea. One crumb in the bed and I can’t sleep, one itchy tag and my day is ruined, an airplane ride seated next to a person wearing cologne and I am in full blown migraine syndrome. Things that I am most sensitive to are synthetic fragrances (please don’t give me a smelly candle for a gift), synthetic fabrics, and bright artificial lights ( TMI but every time I go to target I have to go to the bathroom). I kept all these sensitivities a secret. A few years ago a dear friend outed themselves to me and the lightbulb went off in my head…I’m HSP too! I have since learned that high sensitivity is often related to Trauma and develops into a sort of survival strategy gone haywire. In an effort to stay safe The body thinks most everything is a threat. I am leaving this picture here today because the air is clear, my feet are in the sand and I am wearing the perfect organic cotton dress. At this moment nothing is sending danger signals to my brain. I am safe.

Hi Lovelies. I’ve been locked out of this account for a while and finally sorted it out. Missed wishing you all Good Tidings for whatever you are celebrating. Looks like we are continuing our deep dive inward on this NYE as so many of us have been affected by Omicron. For the next few weeks I will be transitioning back to all Zoom sessions to help mitigate the spread. It’s been an interested Winter Break. I wish you all health and please know that you are surrounded by love!
