I Believe
“People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering. ” (St. Augustine)

Kate Schroeder Success Stories
An Engaging Teacher Who Is Passionate About Helping Others
Kate was engaging and truly enjoyed sharing her knowledge with the group. She created a comfortable and safe environment for open discussion and group participation, and the course content and quality was excellent. I learned a lot about myself and why I relate to others’ as I do, and I like that the information shared was researched based and also full of personal and relevant examples that were easy to understand and see in life. I left her training with a clear understanding of how the Enneagram works as a part of our protective structure- this was eye opening! I also really liked how Kate delivered the information and could tell that she has a genuine interest and passion for helping others.
A Deep and Experiential Healer
“Individual self-awareness and healing radiates outwardly, I know this to be true personally and witness it from my vantage as pastor of a church. Kate Schroeder’s workshop with my community of faith on the three keys to self understanding opened doors that led those who attended on an inward journey; and a year later, the fruits of that opening continue to blossom. Kate speaks the language of soul in a way that is accessible, practical, and not bound by sectarian religion. Religious and secular groups alike could benefit from her facilitation. The workshop sparked a conversation between my right/left brain and my head/heart as she wove information with real-time experiences. Kate’s approach is deep and integrative and those ready to plunge below the exterior of things will not be disappointed.”
A Mystical Guide in the Healing Process
“Kate brings a depth of understanding and mystical repertoire of skills in her facilitation of the Three Keys model for deep emotional healing. Her ability to embrace wholeheartedly the need to heal on an affective level is reflected in her empathic ability to guide clients to and through the source of their wounding in the process of healing deep emotional wounds. Kate is a wise, calm, and highly intuitive facilitator who creates a healing space of safety and support as she guides clients back to their own internal wisdom source.” (Pat Wyman, LPC – Author of Three Keys to Self-Understanding and Developer of the Three Keys to Self-Understanding deep emotional Affective-Inner Child work approach with clients.)
An Experiential Healer Who Guides Me Back to My True Self
I worked with three other therapists prior to Kate, and though each had some benefit, Kate is the only one who has utilized the unique training and skills that have enabled me to tap into and release many of the truly deep, painful feelings locked away since my childhood. Our sessions are always focused and meaningful and include guided and experiential activities that help expedite growth and healing of the wounded child within me. Though I still have work to do, I trust that Kate's compassionate, committed guidance is leading me to deeper healing, to fuller living, and to the freedom to embrace and love the real me I was meant to be.
An Excellent Therapist and Advocate
“Kate is a skilled and caring counselor, an engaging speaker, and is passionately committed to working with and for the LGBTQ community. She represents the best qualities of the counseling profession. I am fortunate to know her as a colleague and friend.” (Dr. James Linsin, Counseling Psychologist & Coordinator of Outreach- University of Missouri Saint Louis.)
