About

With a compassionate approach rooted in years of experience, Dr. Constance Kehrer offers a safe haven for adults navigating life's complex challenges. As a licensed psychologist in Washington State, she brings a wealth of expertise to her online psychotherapy practice, specializing in guiding clients through relationship issues, depression, anxiety, grief, loss, and difficult life transitions.

Dr. Kehrer's journey to becoming a therapist was shaped by a deep-seated desire to understand the human capacity for recovery and meaning-making in the face of adversity. Her academic pursuits led her from the Pacific Northwest to Princeton University and back to the University of Washington, where she completed her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology in 1998. This rigorous educational background provided her with a solid foundation in cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic therapy orientations.

A pivotal moment in Dr. Kehrer's professional development came under the tutelage of Dr. Marsha M. Linehan, creator of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). This experience not only honed her skills in helping individuals with complex needs but also profoundly influenced her personal and professional outlook. Dr. Kehrer's expertise extends beyond traditional talk therapy, encompassing a unique blend of Western cognitive behavioral practices with Eastern concepts of acceptance and mindfulness.

Dr. Kehrer's intellectual curiosity led her to develop a keen interest in brain-behavior relationships, resulting in extensive training in neuropsychological assessment. Her work in this field, including positions at Harborview Medical Center and the Neurobehavioral Institute of New Jersey, has enhanced her ability to provide comprehensive care to her clients. Her doctoral dissertation, examining the effects of observers on neuropsychological test performance, was published in The Clinical Neuropsychologist in 2000, underscoring her commitment to advancing the field.

In recent years, Dr. Kehrer has found herself drawn to the unique challenges that come with later life, as well as the profound impact of grief, loss, and major life transitions. Her approach is characterized by an optimistic, constructive view of human potential, balanced with a deep understanding of the overwhelming nature of life's difficulties. Dr. Kehrer strives to create a therapeutic environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their personal stories and current struggles. She works collaboratively with clients to clarify and actualize personal goals, paying particular attention to thought patterns and behaviors that may be hindering progress.

Whether you're making your first foray into therapy or have previous experience, Dr. Kehrer offers a welcoming, non-judgmental space to explore your concerns. Her telehealth services, delivered through HIPAA-compliant software, ensure that clients can access high-quality psychological support from the comfort of their own homes. With Dr. Kehrer, you'll find a dedicated partner in your journey towards inner peace, acceptance, and personal growth.
