Katie McMillen

I believe times of frustration, stress, and pain can lead to positive growth and that we can flourish in a compassionate, nonjudgemental environment, with gentle challenging from a trusted individual. In the context of the therapeutic environment, one can safely work through vulnerable emotions, fears, and dreams, and it is an honor to be able to facilitate this process. No one is an island; if our relationships aren’t going well, it is likely we are not feeling our best. I would like to help you improve how you relate to and view yourself, others, and the world around you, identifying strengths and natural supports. I enjoy working with individuals (adults, teens, children), couples, and families. I have experience in helping to manage depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, family of origin issues and family stress. I also have experience working with separating/divorced couples and their children to improve co-parenting and family relationships. Utilizing client-centered strategies of a nonjudgemental stance, empathy, and active listening, I incorporate evidenced-based practices to help develop your goals and put a plan in action. Therapy is a collaborative process, so we will work together as a team to implement new skills, heal old wounds, and improve daily living and relationships.
