Kate Bragan, LMHC, CAGS

Licensed Mental Health Counselor | Newport, RI

Sometimes the hardest part isn't knowing something needs to change. It's understanding why the same patterns keep showing up. no matter how hard you try to shift them. If you've been feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, or a life transition that's left you disconnected from yourself, let’s connect.


My Approach

I'm Kate, a licensed mental health counselor based in Newport, Rhode Island, specializing in anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My approach is integrative and depth-oriented. We don't just work on the surface, we go deeper, exploring the unconscious patterns, emotions, and inner dynamics that quietly shape how you experience yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. I draw from Jungian psychology, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), weaving together insight and practicality so that therapy feels both meaningful and grounded.

I believe our emotions carry important information, and rather than pushing them away, we'll work together to understand what they're trying to tell us. Whether you're navigating a major life change, struggling with low mood or persistent worry, or simply feeling like you've lost the thread of who you are, therapy with me offers a space to slow down, make sense of things, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Before joining Serenity Integrative Counseling, I worked in outpatient and psychiatric hospital settings, including Butler Hospital's Young Adult Partial Program, and spent nearly a decade in educational settings — experiences that have given me a broad, grounded perspective on resilience, human development, and what it actually takes to change.

I work with adults individually, both in person at our Newport, RI office and via telehealth across Rhode Island.

My approach includes: Jungian Therapy | IFS | CBT | ACT | Mindfulness | Dreamwork | MBSR
