Katie O'Dowd
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC)
I use a person-centered, interpersonal, & psychodynamic approach to therapy, while remaining adaptive to the unique needs of each client.
I enjoy working with adult and emerging adult populations, and I have a particular affinity for working with emerging adults and college/grad students. I believe that a large part of healing happens in relationship with others, and I’m here to build a collaborative partnership with you where together we can create a path towards a more fulfilling life. I use a person-centered, interpersonal, & psychodynamic approach to therapy, while remaining adaptive to the unique needs of each client. I strive to create a therapy space that is non-judgmental, culturally responsive, anti-oppressive, anti-racist, LGBTQIA affirming & sex positive. I have experience working w/ relationship & family concerns, life transitions, identity exploration, academic/career, perfectionism, body image, anxiety, depression, trauma, existential concerns & self-compassion. I draw from multiple different approaches to help you gain insight into your experiences and relational patterns, see your strengths, build your skills, support you in the tough moments, celebrate your wins, and hopefully laugh a bit along the way too. I'd be honored to partner with you on your journey to healing
