Hi, I’m Katie OBrien, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for supporting clients on their journey to living their best possible life. I value connection and honesty, offering a compassionate, supportive ear for all issues, from trauma to relationships and everything in between. I take a person-centered, evidence-based approach to therapy, walking side by side with clients on their journey of healing and self discovery.
Life is filled with twists and turns, so I believe it’s never too late to create change, pursue new goals, and tackle new or ongoing challenges. I’m here to help you find the connection and support you need to move forward and step confidently on to your life path. With over 10 years of experience promoting growth with all ages in both academic and community settings, I’m here to provide you with a warm, safe space to share your unique story. Together we can find solutions, foster community, build strengths, and help you reach your full potential.
I currently hold a bachelor’s degree in math and physics from Linfield University, a master’s degree in kinesiology from Purdue University, and a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy from UMass Global.
If you’re ready to get started, I always offer a 15-min consult to see if we are a good
fit. I’d love to help you or a member of your family get the help they need to live
better. I can’t wait to meet you and get started tackling life’s challenges together.
