Get to know Dr Katelyn
Why did you decide to become a psychiatric provider?
I am passionate about mental health conditions being treated with the same level of respect, effort, and urgency that physical health conditions are treated with. Throughout my life, I have witnessed the devastation that mental illness can bring to families. I am committed to changing the stigma and helping individuals in need get help!
What can clients expect in their first session with you?
In their first session, clients can expect for me to take a holistic approach and get to know them as a complete individual. In order to do so, I will ask a lot of questions! I strive to highlight the individua'l's strengths and recognize their positive qualities to help me develop a comprehensive care plan. I will work with you to develop a plan that you are not only willing to commit to, but also excited about!
What do you want to accomplish with an individual in their first session?
It is important that we establish a therapeutic relationship, free of judgement. I want the individual to know that I am on their side and that I am committed to them. I strive to make each individual feel comfortable with sharing their story. I hope to allow them to see that no matter what, I am committed to providing them with compassionate care.
What do you do for fun in your time off?
In my free time, I enjoy a variety of things! I love to be outdoors, whether it is the beach or a hiking trip out of state! I love to exercise - yoga, orange theory, you name it! I also love being around my loved ones, spending quality time with family and friends! With that being said, I also enjoy a balance, and highly prioritize my "ME" time, during which I engage in meditation and journaling!
