My why?
In the tapestry of humanity, we are each a unique thread, woven together by our stories, experiences, and wounds. To truly understand one another, we must embrace the beauty of acceptance. Behind every protective layer and every scar lies a person longing to be seen, heard, and loved for their authentic self.
Though we all carry our wounds, these wounds do not define us. They are a part of our journey, a path toward healing. In extending a hand of compassion, I can offer the gift of transformation, the chance for someone to heal, and the opportunity to reveal the extraordinary strength that resides within us all.
All About Me
Thanks for coming to my corner of the web! I am Katelynn, a dedicated mental health therapist with a deeply personal journey that led me to this fulfilling profession.
​
My path into mental health wasn't straightforward; it was born from a turbulent personal journey filled with challenges and triumphs. Struggling with my own mental health, I found myself navigating a labyrinth of doctors' visits and prescriptions, searching for answers and relief. Determined to understand more about mental health and its complexities, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery and education.
​
Becoming a mother to a wonderful little boy further enriched my journey. However, it also brought its own set of challenges, including a battle with postpartum depression. Through this experience, I gained profound insights into the nuances of maternal mental health and the importance of specialized support during such critical life transitions.
​
My own struggles ignited a passion within me to support others on their mental health journeys. Armed with personal experience and professional expertise, I now specialize in providing compassionate care to individuals facing similar challenges. Whether it's navigating the complexities of general mental health issues or addressing the unique needs of maternal mental health, I am committed to empowering my clients to navigate life's challenges with resilience and strength.
​
As a mental health therapist and a mother, I understand firsthand the significance of holistic support and empathetic guidance. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing space where individuals can explore their emotions, cultivate self-awareness, and embark on a journey towards healing and growth.
ABOUT ME & EDUCATION
I am an LPC in the state of Missouri. I earned a Masters degree in Mental Health & Rehabilitation Counseling in May of 2013 from Maryville University.
​In addition to my work as a mental health therapist, I'm also a passionate boater who finds solace and joy on the water, despite living in the heart of the Midwest. My love for the beach runs deep, and I often find myself drawn to its calming shores whenever I can steal a moment away. When I'm not cruising on the water or soaking up the sun, you'll often find me on the dance floor, losing myself in the rhythm and energy of movement. These passions outside of my profession bring balance and joy to my life, enriching my journey both on and off the clock.
