She, her, hers

Katie Straw, LMHC

Do you feel like it’s time to…

…take a hard look at your relationships and how they’re working? 

…to find a different way to connect and relate to the world around you?

…to feel more whole and authentic?

…I want to be on that journey with you!  

 

Hi, I’m Katie, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor working with adults and children between the ages of 3-6.  I’m also a mom of teens, a recovering Type-A Personality, a former theatre kid, a gardening dabbler, a dog person with a soft spot for cats, and a chronic-pain-manager (hello, arthritis!). I’m the kind of therapist that uses humor to heal and can call you out on your stuff while making it feel like a hug.

 

I’ve had diverse life experiences which made me who I am today. I’ve lived overseas, been married for over 20 years, been a stay-at-home-Mom and a working Mom, and had a mid-life return to college.  I believe black lives matter, love is love, your gender is what you say it is, and nobody is illegal. 

 

I can offer you a seamless mix of cognitive behavioral therapies including CBT, ACT, & DBT.  In sessions, we’ll have free-flowing conversations about your life and current struggles, and I’ll add new perspectives.  Together, we will…

…identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior

…talk about healthy acceptance and identify unhelpful avoidance

…explore your values and how to move forward

…improve your interpersonal effectiveness, leading to healthier relationships

…consider how neurodivergence, traumatic experiences or cultural contexts may affect how you feel about yourself

Most of all, we’ll build a strong core of self-acceptance that sees and loves all of you, even if that sounds scary right now!

 

For young children (ages 3-6), I can offer parent-and-child sessions focused on strengthening bonds and working through problematic behaviors using attachment theory.  Great for families during transition (new baby, move, loss, divorce, etc) or recovering from a traumatic event.
