God renewed my life when someone took the time to walk with me back to myself

I now create a similar space for you to heal from the ground up, inside out

Hello.

I’m Kolbe.

I’m a husband, father, & therapist.

I help the deep-feelers, intellectualizers, and high-achievers among us find belonging within themselves, with others, and with God.

My work is evidenced-based and deeply human, integrating relational neuroscience, psychology, and Christian spirituality.

My Offerings

  • For California residents seeking therapy, I provide trauma-informed, body-centered psychotherapy for the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of:

    • PTSD & complex trauma (CPTSD)

    • anxiety & overthinking

    • dissociation & emotional numbness

    • depression

    • attachment and relational healing

    • optional Christian/Catholic spiritual integration

    I practice in Westlake Village at the Catholic Therapy Center, serving clients across Ventura County and California as an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor #18799. Clinical Supervision is with Katelyn Smedley, MS, LMFT #99805

    • nervous system regulation

    • trauma-informed personal growth

    • embodiment and integration

    These sessions are not psychotherapy treating mental disorders but offer structured, supportive guidance rooted in somatic and relational principles.

  • Healing deepens in community.

    I offer seasonal group experiences, including:

    • Incarno is a body-centered, faith-integrated movement practice and support group designed to be accessible for anyone wishing to grow in nervous system regulation and body and emotional awareness

    • Restore is a trauma-informed therapy group for men navigating sexual addiction and compulsivity

    These groups support the development of safety, presence, and relational healing in a shared space.

  • My programs offer structured, self-paced pathways into healing.

    Blending instruction, guided practices, and contemplative integration, they help you:

    • regulate your nervous system

    • reconnect with your body

    • understand your internal patterns

    • encounter healing within a spiritual framework

  • Through articles and reflections on Substack, I explore:

    • trauma and the nervous system

    • somatic healing

    • faith and psychology

    • emotional and spiritual integration

    These writings are designed to help you understand your experience and take practical steps toward healing.

Let’s create space for your healing journey from the ground up, inside out.
