About Katherine | She/her

Katherine Mahan is a licensed professional counselor who's a real human being (just like you). After nearly a decade in higher education counseling centers, Katie's expertise is with the young adult population (20s and 30s). Her clients are typically dealing with big questions, like finding purpose and meaning. She focuses on building a strong therapeutic relationship to facilitate growth; laughter is almost always involved and tears may be, too. She welcomes it all.

Message to clients

My favorite clients are bright, young-ish adults asking tough questions about themselves and their world, seeking to find meaning, joy, and growth. If you are looking for a warm and collaborative space to process your emotions and maybe get some podcast recommendations along the way, we might be a good fit. Oh, and if the phrase “Highly Sensitive Person” means something to you (or feels like it should), I’ve got you. Along with emerging adulthood and adjustment difficulties, interest areas include interpersonal and/or romantic relationship issues, grief, gender and sexuality concerns, anxiety, and depression.
