Meet Katie
Katie Butusov
MS, NCC, LPC, + USMC Veteran
Seeking help can be scary and overwhelming, but you are not alone! I am here to offer a safe, nonjudgmental, and comfortable place that you can feel heard and validated. I believe that building strong foundations and relationships with people are imperative to the growth and healing of an individual’s mind and soul. I bring energy, compassion, and even a little humor to my work with clients, to create a collaborative environment that you can be comfortable and yourself in.
I use a holistic approach using trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), internal family systems (IFS), and Gottman Level 1 techniques to help in areas of anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationships, life transitions, suicidal ideations, trauma and PTSD, and stress management. If a client believes that he/she has a partner to go on this therapeutic journey with them, it can create a success that is much more meaningful.
