Katie O’Connell, MSW, LSW

I take a person-centered, warm, and empathic approach to therapy that focuses on compassionately challenging you to identify and embrace your strengths. When engaging with clients, my hope is that you will leave each time together feeling more encouraged and understood. With an eclectic approach of evidence-based psychology and a trauma lens, I will work with you to understand what modality of treatment best fits your unique needs.

I have experience as a school-based therapist working in the high school setting, and am passionate about helping teens through the journey of self discovery. I have experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and mood disorders in all ages.

My specialties include:

• Trauma-Informed Therapy
• Attachment-Based Therapy
• Play Therapy
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
• Strength-Based Therapy
• Mindfulness-Based Therapy
