A place for the parts of your life that wealth cannot resolve.
Psychotherapy with Dr. Katelyn Lehman for high-net-worth adults navigating wealth-related anxiety, spiritual experiences, trauma, and questions of identity and meaning.
There may be few places where you can speak openly about your life without managing someone else’s assumptions about it.
Financial resources can offer extraordinary freedom while complicating questions of trust, responsibility, identity, and belonging. You may find yourself wondering who you can rely on, what you owe others, or how to build a life that feels meaningful beyond what you own or accomplish.
I offer individual psychotherapy that makes room for these questions, alongside the emotional and practical concerns that bring you to therapy.
Perhaps you are accustomed to making consequential decisions while keeping your own fear out of view. You may carry responsibility for family wealth, struggle with inherited expectations, or find that financial security has done little to quiet an underlying sense of insecurity.
Wealth-related anxiety can involve concerns that are difficult to discuss openly:
Trust, intimacy, and uncertainty
Trust, intimacy, and uncertainty about other people’s intentions.
Inheritance and family obligations
Inheritance, family obligations, and the emotional meaning of money.
Fear of loss
Fear of loss, pressure to preserve wealth, or persistent vigilance.
guilt and responsibility
Guilt, privilege, and questions about contribution and responsibility.
identity and purpose
Identity and purpose after a major achievement, transition, or financial change.
My familiarity with these concerns is both personal and professional. Our work can examine the realities of your circumstances and the deeper meanings they hold for you, with room for honesty about both.
A profound spiritual experience may change how you understand yourself and your relationship to the world. You may experience connection, clarity, or a sense of the sacred that is difficult to explain—and then find yourself unsure how to return to ordinary life.
Therapy offers space to explore what happened, what it means to you, and how it is affecting your relationships, choices, and daily functioning.
We can approach these experiences with curiosity and discernment, allowing meaning to develop without rushing toward a definitive explanation. Integration may involve grief, uncertainty, changed priorities, or the practical work of bringing an important insight into how you live.
Spiritual experiences can raise difficult questions when they coincide with fear, disrupted sleep, unusual perceptions, or difficulty distinguishing inner experience from shared reality. Some people use the phrase “spiritual psychosis” to describe this overlap.
You deserve care that takes both your experience and your wellbeing seriously.
My approach makes room for spiritual and cultural meaning alongside careful clinical assessment. We attend to your stability, functioning, and support needs while exploring how you understand what has happened. When appropriate, this includes considering psychiatric or medical evaluation and whether additional support or a higher level of care is needed.
After a near-death experience or a severely traumatic event, familiar routines and relationships may feel different. Questions about mortality, consciousness, purpose, or belonging may become immediate and deeply personal.
You may feel changed in ways that others cannot easily understand.
Our work can make room for the experience as you remember it, the circumstances surrounding it, and its continuing impact. Together, we can explore how to carry what feels meaningful while attending to distress, uncertainty, and the demands of everyday life.
There is room for what remains unresolved, without pressure to find a lesson or a larger purpose in what happened.
Our psychological lives unfold through our bodies, relationships, histories, and material circumstances.
My work brings analytical depth to the intersection of economic, social, psychological, and biological experience. We may explore recurring relationship patterns, unconscious conflicts, family narratives, and the meanings attached to security, achievement, dependence, or control.
We also attend to what is happening now: how you sleep, how you relate, what you feel, and where your choices have become constrained.
This perspective informs The Coherence Method and my broader work on care and connection. In therapy, it becomes a personal inquiry into how you live—and what greater freedom, responsibility, and belonging might mean for you.
I am a California Licensed Clinical Psychologist and author of The Coherence Method: How to Overcome Adversity and Embody a Life of Care and Connection.
My background spans multicultural, community, and clinical psychology, with experience in forensic settings, partial hospitalization programs (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and community placements. These experiences inform my attention to the relationship between individual suffering and the conditions surrounding it.
My own experience of spiritual awakening informs my sensitivity to how profoundly these experiences can affect a person’s identity, relationships, and sense of belonging. I bring that lived perspective alongside my clinical training, with respect for the particular meaning, uncertainty, and support needs each person brings.
My approach welcomes complexity, thoughtful questioning, and experiences that have been difficult to discuss elsewhere.
You are welcome to reach out with a brief description of what brings you to therapy and what you hope to explore. We can discuss your needs, the scope of my practice, and whether working together would be a good fit.
Your information will be kept private and used only to respond to your inquiry.
