This is where healing begins.
Meet Katie.
Katie McKenzie is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LH61382950) and Washington State Approved Supervisor based in Seattle, WA. She earned her MA in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School.
Katie has worked in mental and behavioral health for over 12 years, with experience across inpatient and outpatient settings. She is deeply passionate about the privilege of walking alongside clients as they make meaning of their stories and work toward growth, change, and healing. Her clinical focus includes relational concerns, complex trauma, anxiety disorders, and working with adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
Her therapeutic approach is relational, trauma-informed, contemplative, and psychodynamic. Together, these frameworks guide the work toward creating containment for the present, healing for the past, and hope for the future.
When out of the office, Katie enjoys the beautiful simplicity of the day to day with her husband and celebrating life with her friends. She thrives in a balance of cozy and familiar rhythms and indulging in the allure of new adventures. Katie loves vegan food, aesthetic experiences, and cuddling up with her two cats and a good book.
The work we will do together resides within current research that indicates that change occurs through a deeper understanding of the behind the scene elements that go on in our own minds; the hidden thoughts, fears, beliefs, and dreams that you’ve gained and developed over the years that may unknowingly play a role in how you interact in your world today. We will work together to uncover these patterns in your life and bring self-awareness, understanding, and compassion to them.
