Episode 3 - Kate Ferguson: Women's Advocacy and Reproductive Mental Health

Kate is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a private practice in Atlanta, GA. Kate is one of the funniest people I know, and one of the deepest thinkers.  It’s not easy to do both, or to be able to switch between both so fluidly and easily.  And yet she does.  Kate is a therapist’s therapist, meaning she gets excited about things only therapists might get excited about, like theories and techniques, and she is constantly studying and training and wanting to grow in knowledge and skill. And she is also a business woman, and runs her own therapy practice, Kate Ferguson and Associates. Kate is a champion of women and people in her way of working, and in her way of being.  In our interview we touch on how her “reluctant advocacy,” has shaped her specialties and focus. It is a compelling story.  Kate also shares with us her wisdom and perspective on Reproductive Mental Health (how this became a specialty for her), as well as working mothers, and the rise of problem drinking in women and its effects.
