Katherine Epps

I work with adults navigating grief, trauma, PTSD, and experiences that can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode. I understand that healing is not always a straightforward process, and I aim to provide a space where you can talk openly, feel understood, and work at a pace that feels right for you.

My background in social work includes advanced clinical education and experience across community mental health, crisis services, and working with adults living with severe mental illness. My experience also includes domestic violence services, adoption and kinship care, refugee resettlement, and sexual assault crisis services. I also have strong family ties to the military, which gives me personal insight into the challenges and transitions that can come with military life.

These experiences have taught me that people rarely come to therapy carrying just one thing. I bring that perspective to my practice and meet you where you are, without expecting you to have everything figured out before we begin.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, person-centered, and holistic. I don't believe therapy is one size fits all. Your experiences, relationships, environment, strengths, and needs are unique to you, and your therapy should reflect that.

With grief, I recognize there is no set timeline or series of stages to follow. Grief is deeply personal and can be a lifelong process that changes over time.

I draw from different evidence-based approaches, practical skills, and mindfulness practices based on what will be most helpful to you. My style balances support with gentle challenge, creating space for both practical skill-building and deeper reflection.

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. I'll spend much of our time listening and asking questions so I can better understand who you are, what brings you to therapy, and what you hope to achieve.

You don't have to tell your whole story during our first meeting. Some people are ready to share deeply personal experiences right away, while others need more time. Both are okay. We'll move at a pace that feels right for you.

I also encourage you to ask me questions. Finding the right therapist is important, and our first session is an opportunity for both of us to decide whether we're a good fit.
