Katie Benns is a compassionate counselor who understands that we all experience varying degrees of pain or trauma in our lives. She recognizes that sometimes this pain, sadness, or fear can become debilitating, making it difficult for individuals to function. Whether someone knows the source of their distress—be it a job loss, a relationship ending, or family problems—or feels lost and confused, Katie provides a supportive space for exploration. Many individuals may feel overwhelmed, anxious, or discouraged, and past coping mechanisms might no longer suffice. This signifies the need for new skills and insights, a journey that Katie is ready to facilitate. With a focus on uncovering the strength and resiliency within her clients, she guides them toward overcoming obstacles that hinder their ability to live fulfilling lives. Through mindfulness-based therapy, trauma-focused approaches, and a variety of compassionate techniques such as the Gottman Method and cognitive-behavioral strategies, Katie fosters meaningful, positive changes that enhance relationships and overall quality of life.
