Meet Our Founder: A Visionary in Holistic Healing

Kate Lamborn , LCSW

(Owner and Psychotherapist)

Bridging Mind, Body, and Spirit

As the founder and director of West Side Psychotherapy LCSW PLLC, I've dedicated my career to revolutionizing how we understand and treat psychological distress. My approach transcends traditional therapy by identifying and addressing the root causes of symptoms rather than simply managing their surface manifestations.

From Personal Adversity to Pioneering Practice 

My journey into integrative mental healthcare wasn't just professional—it was profoundly personal. Navigating the complexities of Type 1 diabetes while experiencing the limitations of a fragmented healthcare system firsthand revealed a critical gap in patient care. I witnessed how conventional approaches often failed to recognize the intricate connections between physical health, emotional wellbeing, and spiritual fulfillment.

These experiences became the catalyst for creating West Side Psychotherapy—a haven where clients receive comprehensive care that honors their complete humanity. The frustrations I encountered as a patient transformed into a mission to build something better: a practice where healing occurs at the deepest levels.

Cultivating Excellence Through Mentorship

My commitment to exceptional care extends beyond my own clinical work. I personally select, train, and mentor each therapist who joins our team, fostering an environment of rigorous collaboration and continuous growth. Our weekly clinical roundtables ensure that every client benefits not just from their primary therapist's expertise, but from our entire team's collective wisdom and diverse perspectives.

This collaborative model has positioned West Side Psychotherapy at the forefront of integrative mental healthcare, blending evidence-based psychological interventions with holistic wellness practices that acknowledge the body's innate capacity for healing.

Beyond the Office

My belief in whole-person wellness extends to my personal life as well. You might find me exploring mountain trails on horseback, attending live music performances that feed the soul, or simply wandering through nature with dogs!
 

My adventures traveling coastlines around the world continually reinforce my appreciation for the restorative power of connection—to nature, to community, and to ourselves. These experiences constantly refresh my perspective and enrich the healing environment we've created at West Side Psychotherapy.
