Kathryn Pfister

I currently work at the Crisis Stabilization Unit, (Psych. ER). My duties include, providing a welcoming and safe environment for our clients, as we assist in supporting them during their mental health crisis.

I also share lived experiences, offer supportive active listening, various activities and companionship during their stay with us. At every opportunity I also engage in supportive, recovery model, trauma informed therapeutic conversations to encourage and empower our clients. We also practice identifying strengths and discuss goals or coping skills.

I also engage in seeking safety groups and facilitate WRAP plans (Wellness Recovery Action Plans) I have just completed the Medicare/ Medical Certification State Exam to be certified. I have a BS in Human Services and a MS in Psychology. This is my passion.

I entered this field as a result of personal experience with my husband and son. In learning more about their mental illnesses, I found my passion in life. I was created to be a helper and supporter, and I thrive in this field.
