Dr. Kate Lund is an authorized clinical psychologist with twenty years of experience in the field. She possesses specialized expertise in medical psychology, having received training from renowned institutions such as Shriners Hospital for Children in Boston, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, all of which are affiliated with Harvard Medical School. Dr. Lund employs a strengths-based approach when working with students who face learning difficulties and their families, helping them unlock their full potential. Residing in Washington State, Dr. Lund lives with her spouse, two sons, a spirited West Highland White terrier named Squirt, and a Britany Doodle named Wally. In her spare time, she enjoys engaging in activities such as golfing, photography, and maintaining her fitness. She also cherishes moments spent with her loved ones and her two canine companions. Furthermore, she is currently training Wally to become a therapy dog, with the intention of making regular visits to children's hospitals. From a young age, Dr. Lund possessed a deep desire to comprehend and aid those in her surroundings. This inclination likely stemmed from a series of medical challenges she faced during her childhood. Initially, she aspired to become a pediatrician. However, her interest in psychology grew stronger over time, leading her to set her sights on becoming a clinical psychologist. Throughout her educational journey, Dr. Lund developed an appreciation for the power of focusing on individuals' strengths, rather than solely on their areas of struggle. This approach has proven to be a valuable tool in guiding her clients through their challenges, instilling belief in themselves, and propelling them towards their potential. Dr. Lund's passion lies in assisting students with learning differences, as she herself experienced the difficulties of navigating academia due to a medical challenge during her own upbringing. Fortunately, she was blessed with a robust support system and individuals who maintained unwavering belief in her abilities, despite the obstacles she faced. Driven by her own experiences, she came to understand the significance of self-belief and discovering methods to overcome and transcend challenges. These realizations have shaped her approach and have made a profound impact on her work. She has successfully guided her own son, who has dyslexia, to embrace the same mindset. Through her extensive clinical background and personal experiences, Dr. Lund firmly believes that it is indeed possible to navigate and surpass challenges, ultimately reaching one's true potential.
