Kai Pratt (they/he) is a longtime educator & care worker dedicated to supporting others in their processes of self-exploration & holistic healing. He was clinically trained at the Smith College School for Social Work & has previously worked as an outdoor educator, youth mentor, housing advocate, case manager, & psychotherapist in a wide variety of settings.

Kai’s approach to therapy is compassionate, strengths-based, person-centered, & trauma-informed. They are passionate about helping others in their self-growth & attentive to the many ways family systems, structural forces, & culture can aid or impede that growth. Based on collaborative treatment planning, Kai uses a combination of approaches such as Polyvagal Theory, parts work, somatic experiencing, sex therapy, mindfulness practices, & psychodynamic theory.

Kai’s collaborations with couples, partners, & relationships generally take shape around the Gottman Method, which is an evidence-based approach focused on improving communication, managing conflict with care, strengthening friendship/intimacy, & building shared meaning over time. They have currently completed Levels 1, 2, & the Level 3 Practicum in Gottman Method Couples Therapy.

Kai is guided in his work by theories & values of reciprocity, kinship, community, storytelling, creative expression, & collective liberation. He believes individual dignity, worth, & wellness are our human birthrights, & that we all deserve to have support in living the lives we envision for ourselves.
