Influence of Social Media on Confidence & Body Image with Kathryn DeFatta LPC, MHSP

Badass Basic Bitch

Kat is a Nashville native who loves matcha lattes, laughing loudly, and celebrating the ability to move her body. She was drawn to this work through a personal journey of self-discovery that happened when she stopped trying to find happiness through things that watered down the best parts of who she is.

Kat learned that what she needed was a soft place to land- somewhere to show up, be seen, and cared for not despite her imperfections but for them.

She has since found that many of us have never had space that felt soft enough for us to be messy, fall down, and not feel too broken to get back up. Well, that is exactly what you will do with her in her office. You’ll open up, get messy, and fall a lot. However, you’ll get back up a lot too. And when you discover the strength you have to stand up the fall stops feeling so important.

Kat works from the perspective that connection is the opposite of addiction. And when we realize that humans are a species that THRIVES on connection in order to survive… it makes a lot more sense why we currently are the most addicted cohort of humans that have ever lived. Operating from an attachment focussed trauma lens Kat aims to build secure relationships within the therapy process in order for her clients to create healthy, satisfying, life-giving connections in their own lives.

Kat believes that you weren’t made to be perfect- you were made to be you. And she wants to help you find out who that is.

Kat’s specialties:

Eating disorders, body image, addiction, trauma, life transitions.
