Katie Calabrese

Hi, I’m Katie Calabrese, a licensed therapist with over 17 years of experience working with people during some of the most challenging and pivotal moments of their lives. My background spans a licensed forensic psychiatric hospital, an ambulatory substance-use treatment program, and private practice. Those settings taught me how complex, resilient, and human people are, and how important it is to meet each person with respect, honesty, and care rather than assumptions or labels.

I earned my Master’s degree in Community Counseling from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I work with individuals ages 16 and older, including men and women, veterans, and couples. Much of my work focuses on early recovery from substance use, moderate to severe mental health challenges, and major life transitions. I also offer life coaching for clients who want practical support turning insight into action.

I’m licensed to practice in Virginia, Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia.

Elevate Clarity Counseling provides professional counseling services for adults experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. I use a personalized therapeutic approach to help clients gain insight, clarity, and emotional balance to better understand their patterns, regulate anxiety, and build sustainable emotional well-being.

My therapy is collaborative, clinically grounded, and tailored to your unique needs, offering a space to gain clarity, resilience, and confidence. For individuals, couples, families, or specialized needs, we offer a safe, collaborative space to build resilience and lasting change.

If you decide I'm a good fit for you, we'll schedule an intake session. Once scheduled, I will enroll you in the Elevate Clarity patient portal to complete your intake paperwork. You will receive a secure portal link and instructions for completing all intake paperwork including information about fees, consents, and your mental health history.
