Katie Ross-McGinnis

I am Professional Counselor and Substance Abuse Counselor who graduated with a Master of Arts in Counseling Degree from Lakeland University. I enjoy therapeutic work with people from all walks of life, especially adolescents and young adults who are struggling co-occurring with mental health and substance use disorders. Additionally, I have experience working with anxiety disorders, mood disorders, eating disorders, posttraumatic stress disorder, and other types of adjustments to various life changes. I believe in empowering clients through a person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed approach and works alongside clients to create healthy relationships with others and with oneself. I work to create a safe space where clients can explore life’s challenges and feel heard and accepted. Additionally, I am working towards obtaining a certification in Animal Assisted Therapy where I will incorporate my personal connection with horses and guide clients to have a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them utilizing equine facilitated therapy.
