Katherine Mahan is a licensed professional counselor who's a real human being (just like you). With nearly a decade in higher education counseling centers, Katie's expertise is with the young adult population (20s and 30s). She focuses on building a strong therapeutic relationship to facilitate growth; laughter is almost always involved. Tears may be, too. All is welcome.
Katie specializes in work with young adults addressing an array of concerns, including adjustment difficulties, interpersonal and/or romantic relationship issues, grief, gender and sexuality concerns, depression, anxiety, and other challenges common to emerging adulthood. Her clinical strengths include forging strong relationships with her clients and providing them with various resources to better understand themselves and the world.
Katie tailors her therapeutic approach to your individual needs, grounding the use of techniques in feminist and relational-cultural theories. Her goal is to create a space in which you feel safe, accepted, and empowered to sustain positive and fulfilling relationships with yourself and others.
Please note that Katie's practice is exclusively online via HIPAA-compliant videoconferencing. This modality is not suitable for everyone.
