Training and Mentoring the Next Generation of Leaders
ABOUT US
Katherine and Jennifer are the creators of the Catalyst Clinical Training Program.
Yes, we really super duper like post-it notes. We have spent years crafting a training program that is unique, intentional, and supportive.
We're organized, overly excitable about learning and insight and theories of change, and super nerdy about clinical stuff (and let's face it, super nerdy about non-clinical stuff). With a combined 50+ years in the profession, we still absolutely love what we do. We want to help you reach your full potential.
EMPOWERING YOU TO GROW INTO A SEASONED, CONFIDENT THERAPIST
About Jennifer:
Jennifer S. Kennett, PhD, MA, MBA, LMHC, is the owner of a successful private practice (Eastside Couples Therapy) serving couples since 2013. I have over 20 years of experience as a therapist. I view the therapeutic relationship as central to effective change and I draw on strengths-based approaches, narrative theory, attachment-oriented perspectives, existential theory, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence in my clinical work.
I received my PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision program at Antioch University Seattle. I have forged a reputation as a compassionate, caring, and collaborative counselor and supervisor, helping clients and emerging counselors achieve the growth and change they crave.
As an educator, I view learning as an intellectual playground; I believe that learning starts from a place of curiosity. I want learners to feel encouraged to explore ideas by engaging their prior knowledge and their lived intellectual and emotional experiences.

About Katherine:
Katherine Walter, MSW, LICSW, CSW-G, is the owner and clinical director for Catalyst Counseling.
For the first eight years of my career, I worked in medical social work, primarily oncology, home health, and hospice. I transitioned to private practice in 2013 and opened Catalyst Counseling as a group practice in 2017. It is an extraordinary privilege to mentor and cultivate clinicians to help you reach your fullest professional potential.
My focus is on the self of the therapist. It’s my job to help you own your strengths and notice when you are feeling activated in session. I can help you articulate your boundaries and scope of practice. I can help you start to build your professional identity.
Because I am trained as a social worker, my lens is systemic - I will help you look at a case from micro, mezzo, and macro lenses. I will help you identify messages and systems that are impacting both the client’s experience in the world, and the experience for both of you inside the session.
