Meet Katherine Eastlake

We’re excited for you to get to know Certified SPT Supervisor Katherine Eastlake and presenter of Monday’s Community Membership webinar. Kathrine is a family therapist who has been integrating SPT into her clinical work since 2013.

Her journey bringing SPT and family therapy together grew from her belief that parents are vital to the healing process. Through SPT, she has discovered new ways to bring regulation, curiosity, and connection into her work with families. As Katherine says, “Without SPT, I honestly don’t think I’d still be working with families.” To learn more about Katherine, read the SPT Certified Community Monthly Pulse email newsletter sent on August 3.
