I’m Dr. Katherine (Katie) Crawford, a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience in clinical practice, social work education, and trauma-informed program evaluation. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, and those times when you just feel stuck or find yourself repeating patterns you’re ready to understand and change. My approach to therapy is warm, practical, and collaborative. I integrate CBT, attachment-based and relational therapy, and mindfulness, with a focus on helping you understand the connection between your experiences, relationships, thoughts, emotions, and the ways you respond to them. I’m also an EMDR-trained therapist and may incorporate EMDR when it fits your needs and goals. I believe therapy should help you better understand yourself while also giving you practical ways to handle what life brings. We’ll focus on what matters most to you, build on the strengths you already have, and work toward changes that feel meaningful and lasting.

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin figuring out what you’d like to get from therapy. I’ll ask questions about what’s bringing you in, what’s happening in your life now, and some of the experiences and relationships that have shaped you along the way. We’ll also talk about what you’d like to work on and any changes you hope to make. This helps me begin to understand both what you’re struggling with and the strengths and resources you already have. You’re always in control of what you share. You don’t have to talk about anything you’re not ready to discuss, and there’s no expectation that you tell your whole story in the first session. We’ll take things at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Most importantly, the first session gives us a chance to see how it feels to work together. You don’t need to come prepared with all the answers—we’ll start with where you are and figure out where to go from there.
I show up for my clients with steadiness, curiosity, compassion, and a genuine investment in the work we do together. I want therapy to be a place where you can come as you are, without feeling like you need to have everything figured out. My perspective has been shaped by more than 15 years of work across clinical, academic, and community settings, including work with trauma survivors, people involved in the criminal justice system, and people experiencing homelessness. These experiences have deepened my understanding of resilience, the impact of our experiences and environments, and the importance of understanding people within the context of their lives. I’ve also spent years teaching and mentoring graduate social work students, including developing a graduate course in trauma-informed practice. That experience helps me take complicated ideas and make them practical and understandable—something I bring to therapy as we make sense of patterns, emotions, relationships, and ways of coping. I bring my clinical experience and perspective to our work, but I’ll always be curious about yours. You know your life better than I ever could. Together, we can better understand what may be getting in the way, build on the strengths you already have, and find ways of moving forward that make sense for you.
I work best with people who are thoughtful, curious about themselves, and ready for something to change—even if they’re not quite sure where to start. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in familiar patterns, struggling with self-doubt, or realizing that the ways they’ve learned to cope aren’t working as well as they once did. You may be dealing with anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship stress, grief, a major life transition, or the lasting effects of difficult or traumatic experiences. You may also be someone who is capable and used to handling a lot, but finds yourself overthinking, putting others first, questioning your own needs, or repeating patterns you don’t fully understand. You don’t have to know exactly what needs to change before starting therapy. Curiosity and a willingness to look at what’s happening are enough. Together, we can make sense of the patterns that keep showing up, understand where they come from, and work toward new ways of responding that feel more intentional and more like you.

CBT helps us understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. We may identify patterns in how you interpret situations, explore beliefs that have developed over time, and practice new ways of thinking and responding that are more helpful in your life today.
Mindfulness is about learning to notice what is happening within you without immediately judging it or reacting to it. We use this awareness to create more space between what you think or feel and what you do next. Over time, this can make it easier to tolerate difficult emotions, recognize patterns as they are happening, and respond with greater intention and self-compassion.
Our relationships shape how we learn to see ourselves, others, and what we can expect from connection. I use an attachment-based and relational approach to explore how earlier experiences may influence current relationship patterns, emotional responses, trust, boundaries, and how you get your needs met. Together, we work to understand these patterns with compassion and develop healthier, more flexible ways of relating to yourself and others.
As an EMDR-trained therapist, I may incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when it fits your needs and goals. EMDR can help process traumatic, distressing, or unresolved experiences that continue to affect how you think, feel, or respond in the present, allowing us to work more directly with the beliefs, emotions, and reactions connected to those experiences.

I received therapy from Katie a little over a year ago. She was so welcoming, and patient with me, I believe we had a good patient therapist relationship and I learned a lot from her. She had referred me to someone in my area for EMDR therapy. But after over a year I was not able to find anyone local or someone online. So I searched for Katie and found her at growtherapy.com. I was able to quickly make an appointment to continue therapy with her.

During our first session, I felt really comfortable and able to talk freely through some issues I want to tackle in therapy. I was a little nervous going in but Katie was warm and easy to talk to, so I'm looking forward to working together.
