Radical Essence Therapy PLLC was created to support intergenerational systemic healing through challenging systems of violence, generating relational healing, expanding trauma-informed awareness & de-pathologizing mental health, as well as working implicitly to foster trauma recovery.

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”


- Anaiis Nin, "Risk"

Meet Katelynn Czechowski, LMFTA (She/Her)

Welcome!

If you are searching for meaningful relational support, in which all systems of your personhood can be witnessed and tended to with presence and compassion, then I want to help you begin to know and feel that you belong. I believe that access to a loving witness is your human right.


As a human being, trauma survivor, and trained clinician, I value reducing systemic suffering. My process has led me to understand and facilitate healing that is less traditional, involving the body, internal neural networks, play and creativity, and unconscious emotional expression. 


Individuals and relational systems often find me as they battle aspects of their own identities, insecure attachments, and struggle with feeling at home within themselves. I frequently work with people who have learned through turbulent histories to be appeasing and self-reliant, as well as with couples often struggling with desire and disconnection.


I am passionate about helping individuals and relational systems learn to heal ancestral trauma/s and discover anti-oppressive, compassionate ways of being in relationship/s. I view health as a matter of relational health that focuses on connectivity, which is the opposite of shame and alienation.

Best Fits for Therapeutic Work

  • Neuro-complexity & Appeasement Tendencies -Neuro-complexity is a term that encompasses more than a diagnosis and views neurodivergence not as a singular label, but as a dynamic tapestry of strengths and difficulties. Appeasement tendencies refer to life experiences that have primed individuals for adaptations that are commonly referred to as "people-pleasing, or fawning behaviors" that occur in attachment/relationships. My clients tend to be neuro-complex humans (giftedness, ADHD, chronic illness, & beyond) who share difficult experiences with "hiding, perfectionism, and self-sacrificing."
  • Sensitivity & Creativity - The clients that I work with tend to be highly intuitive, creative and/or artistic, sensitive individuals and/or relational units. Often, but not always, clients find me as they want to begin to express themselves creatively, and are struggling to get parts of them onto paper, in songs, or in their deepest other creative longings. 
  • Identity Expansion & Grief Transformation - My clients often find me as they are traveling through different life stages, and are opening up to the fuller spectrum of who they are and the meaning-making that they are co-creating within themselves and their relationships, with fuller expansion of what it means to be alive. In this process of change and identity transformation, my clients grieve aspects of self that have developed through survival, and they learn to welcome in softness and expansion through processing sadness, loss, betrayal, and/or rage. 
  • Survivors of Sexual Abuse, Narcissistic Abuse, &/or Emotional Neglect - I am experienced and trained to work with individual and relational systems who have experienced both acute and complex traumatic experiences throughout the lifespan. In my work, I primarily work with folx who identify as survivors of abuse and/or neglect. I love helping individuals reclaim their identities and work through the dysregulation, pain, and grief that may also accompany post-traumatic growth, passion, and pleasurable experiences through the practice of therapeutic resourcing.
  • Openness to Somatics & Art-Making - My therapeutic style incorporates bottom-up, right-brain interventions, that facilitate implicit healing by processing stress and trauma symptoms as they arise in the body and the unconscious mind. Clients who work with me long-term benefit from interventions that do not rely singularly on traditional tak therapy, rather, alternative and more holistic offerings that include the body and brain centers that hold sensory and implicit data.

Finding A Fit

Clients who are best seen as a fit for the work that I do tend to be individuals who are interested in working on their childhood developmental trauma, and who have enough present-day capacity for experiential trauma-processing. I do not provide inpatient treatment or on-call crisis counseling.
