About Me
I’m Kathryn Scruggs, a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) and professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Marin County. I work with teens, families, and adults navigating transitions, identity, relationships, and recovery from emotional or behavioral struggles.
As someone in long-term recovery, I bring a perspective shaped by both professional training and personal experience. My story isn’t the focus, but it informs my empathy, steadiness, and belief in each person’s capacity for growth.
With nearly a decade of experience in school-based counseling and community mental health, I draw on both clinical expertise and compassion to support clients in building lives that feel authentic and connected.
Therapeutic Approach
I practice from a humanistic, person-centered foundation, drawing from Motivational Interviewing, psychodynamic and systems work, CBT/DBT, and mindfulness. My style is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s needs.
I especially enjoy working with teens and families—supporting young people as they explore identity and belonging, and helping parents navigate new challenges. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and empowering environment that fosters reflection and meaningful change.
