Catherine (Katie) Coker

Hi there, I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker experienced in providing individual and group therapy to those struggling with anxiety/stress, eating disorders/disordered eating, trauma, life transitions, depression, perfectionism, grief, and young adulthood issues. I practice primarily through a Compassion-Focused Therapy lens, as I believes that self-compassion can be one of the hardest things to give ourselves, and yet, often the first step towards healing, growth, and lasting change. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT, expressive art techniques, the Health at Every Size framework, and faith-based elements (if desired by the client) to help support clients in their healing process. I understand how difficult it can be to reach out for support and consider it a privilege to hold space for the experiences, pain, joy, and hope of my clients. I deeply value building strong therapeutic relationships with clients and strive to create a warm, accepting, and safe space for them to be their most authentic selves.
