Katelyn Childs

Instead of asking "what's wrong" with someone, my approach is to ask "what happened." Getting to the root of a problem, seeing what’s behind it and what’s contributing to it, is more beneficial in the long term than solely viewing an issue as it presents today. While providing a safe and supportive environment, I work collaboratively with clients to learn ways to manage symptoms more effectively, keep the past from negatively affecting the present, and assist clients in moving forward with clarity and purpose.

I specialize in providing counseling for kids, teens, and adults in working through challenges such as life stressors, family conflict, trauma, depression, and anxiety. Along with traditional counseling approaches, I provide EMDR and play therapy. I am also happy to provide afternoon and evening appointments to accommodate work and school.

It can be hard to take the first step of calling someone completely unknown to talk about difficult things. When you’re ready, I can talk with you about getting started and to see if we’re a good fit; if we’re not, I’m happy to help connect you with someone else! I look forward to talking with you!
