Kate Watkins was immensely helpful in rescuing me from a very difficult-nearly tragic-situation. I am an older man who had gradually become addicted to the benzodiazepines I was taking during a very stressful period. Almost a teetotaler, I had begun swilling vodka in the morning, seeking oblivion, at least for the day. Alcohol and Benzos can be a deadly combination.
On the day I revealed my addictions to Kate, within hours she had found a bed for me at UCLA hospital and virtually ordered me to check in. A few years later and I am in better emotional health than ever.
This was of course an emergency, but I also know her to be a very warm, bright, sensitive and non-judgemental psychotherapist who also helped me with less life-threatening problems.
