About me
Hey there! My name is Katie Terry, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been practicing for 10 years. I know therapy can be scary, so I try to create a safe and positive environment for all of my clients. My therapeutic style is empathetic, energetic, relatable, approachable, and passionate. I love working with clients who truly want to feel better by implementing lifestyle changes and behavioral changes. Change is scary, but I'm here to navigate it with you every step of the way.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, we will complete an Intake Evaluation that gives me information as to why you reached out, history of mental health concerns, family of origin and family dynamics, etc. while getting to know more about my therapeutic style in the process. After our Intake Evaluation is complete, we can collaborate together to help you feel better!
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
As a provider, you will always feel like I am on your side. I want therapy to be a place of safety, comfort, and healing. Clients have considered me to be a cheerleader for them, a place of safety, and one who does not shy away to lovingly point out blind spots to aid in personal growth. Therapy also can also have this stereotype where the provider just listens and does not offer feedback... That's not my style. Working with me feels very conversational in nature.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with adults from all ages across the lifespan. My ideal client is someone who truly wants to break cycles, heal, and do the work to feel better holistically. I am Certified in Critical Incident Stress Management and have debriefed multiple front-line workers throughout the course of my career. I enjoy working with those in helping professions in particular.

I’ve been seeing Katie for almost a year, and she’s been such a steady, supportive presence in my life. She’s warm, welcoming, and incredibly easy to talk to—like a trusted friend who’s also insightful and professional. She creates a safe space to share, listens without judgment, and offers thoughtful, helpful guidance. I always leave sessions feeling heard, understood, and more grounded. I’m truly grateful for her.

I've been seeing Katie for years. I think what makes her special as a therapist is her level of caring and support. She really cares about her patients and wants the best for them. I always feel like she is in my corner. When I'm venting about an issue she validates my feelings and doesn't give a stoic therapy response. She makes therapy as seamless as chatting with a close friend. She is wonderful and I adore her!
