My why?
We're all unique, like threads in a big human tapestry, each with our own stories, experiences, and scars. To really get each other, we need to embrace acceptance. Beneath every tough exterior and every scar is someone who just wants to be seen, heard, and loved for who they truly are.
Even though we all have our wounds, they don't define us. They're just part of our journey toward healing. By showing compassion, I can help someone transform, heal, and uncover the incredible strength we all have inside.
All About Me
Hey there! Thanks for visiting my corner of the web. I'm Katelynn, a mental health therapist with a personal journey that led me to this rewarding profession.
My path into mental health wasn't straightforward; it came from my own ups and downs. I struggled with my own mental health, navigating through countless doctors' visits and prescriptions, searching for answers and relief. Determined to understand more, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery and education.
Becoming a mom to a wonderful little boy added more depth to my journey. It also brought its own challenges, like battling postpartum depression and anxiety. Through this, I gained valuable insights into maternal mental health and the importance of specialized support during such crucial times.
My struggles ignited a passion to support others on their mental health journeys. With personal experience and professional expertise, I now specialize in compassionate care for those facing similar challenges. Whether it's general mental health issues or the unique needs of maternal mental health, I'm here to help.
As a mental health therapist and a mom, I understand the importance of holistic support and empathetic guidance. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing space where you can explore your emotions, cultivate self-awareness, and start your journey towards healing and growth.
ABOUT ME & EDUCATION
​
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri, Nationally Certified (NCC), with a certification in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C). I earned a Master’s degree in Mental Health & Rehabilitation Counseling from Maryville University in May 2013.
When I’m not working as a mental health therapist, you can find me out on the water. Boating is my passion, offering solace and joy even in the heart of the Midwest. I also have a deep love for the beach and often seek out its calming shores whenever I can. Besides my time on the water, I love dancing and losing myself in the rhythm and energy. These activities bring balance and joy to my life, enriching my journey both on and off the clock.
