About Katy
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I’m licensed in West Virginia with 5 years of professional clinical work experience. I am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC #1584398) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP #265640).
Educational Background: I graduated from West Virginia University with a B.A. in Psychology, Southern New Hampshire University with a M.S. in Developmental Psychology, and a M.S. degree in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from West Virginia University.
I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, challenges impacting Veterans, improving motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I will help to give you the tools that you will use to reach your goals. I believe that you are the expert on yourself and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you.
I enjoy working with individuals experiencing chronic illnesses and helping them to recognize their strengths while navigating the unpredictability of each day.
I provide a safe place for the Jewish population. I recognize the implications of antisemitism for this ethnicity and religion.
I do not provide Christian-based counseling, work with couples, or work with anyone under the age of 18 years old.
My counseling style is laid back and compassionate. I enjoy using an appropriate sense of humor in my sessions. I like to focus on identifying your personal strengths and helping you to utilize them to overcome your obstacles. I’m here to help you understand what it is you’re going through. I am also here to help you work through difficult things so you can make the most appropriate decision for yourself at this time in your life. I offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment.

- “Although I’ve only done a few therapy sessions, I already feel like it’s helping. Katy listens to my concerns and always addresses them and also gives me ways to deal with them in a healthy manner. I look forward to continuing our sessions.”
- “Katy is clear, easy to understand, knowledgeable, and kind. <br /> <br /> She has and shares a wealth of knowledge for the different issues and concerns I need help with. Would definitely recommend.”
- “Katy is truly amazing! <br /> She never makes me feel judged and always listens”
- “Great therapist”
- “I find that my new therapist Katy has shown me in just two sessions (and a few message texts), that she is able to know the precise moment to inject therapeutic wisdom into my storyline. <br /> <br /> I like to talk. Katy tolerates it and is always attentive while I tell a new story. Without missing a beat, she helps me to see a deeper level into myself and can talk my language. <br /> <br /> I’m glad that she is who I get to work with on my journey. I’ve told a few close friends some of her wisdom that she shared with me, when they call ME for advice!! The reply that I get is “I never thought about it that way.” I’m feeling good here so far.”
