Professional statement

Katherine Mahan is a licensed professional counselor who's a real human being (just like you). With nearly a decade in higher education counseling centers, Katie's expertise is with the young adult population (20s and 30s). She focuses on building a strong therapeutic relationship to facilitate growth; laughter is almost always involved. Tears may be, too. All is welcome.

Katie specializes in work with young adults addressing an array of concerns, including adjustment difficulties, interpersonal and/or romantic relationship issues, grief, gender and sexuality concerns, depression, anxiety, and other challenges common to emerging adulthood. Her clinical strengths include forging strong relationships with her clients and providing them with various resources to better understand themselves and the world.

Katie tailors her therapeutic approach to your individual needs, grounding the use of techniques in feminist and relational-cultural theories. Her goal is to create a space in which you feel safe, accepted, and empowered to sustain positive and fulfilling relationships with yourself and others.

Please note that Katie's practice is exclusively online via HIPAA-compliant videoconferencing. This modality is not suitable for everyone.


Message to clients

Life isn't easy, and it's not supposed to be. There's so much outside of our control, but we can choose to know and love ourselves, to do things that bring us meaning, and to surround ourselves with good people. Sometimes we're doing all the right things, and life is still hard! Talking about that can help. You're not alone.

My favorite clients are asking tough questions about themselves and their world, seeking to find meaning, joy, and growth. Maybe you're seeking some support through a transitional phase, getting ready to finish college, learning to “adult,” or preparing for marriage or parenthood. If you are looking for a warm and collaborative space to process your emotions and maybe get some podcast recommendations along the way, we might be a good fit.

Oh, and if the phrase “Highly Sensitive Person” means something to you (or feels like it should), I’ve got you.
