Katrina Dobson

Hi, I’m Katrina and I’m here to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered. Choosing a counselor can feel overwhelming, but finding someone you connect with makes all the difference.

Here’s a bit about me to help you decide if we’re a good fit. I’m a Tucson native and a proud graduate of Northern Arizona University, where I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My experience of 7 years spans working with children, teens, adults, and families through a wide range of challenges from emotional regulation and low self-esteem to life transitions and relationship concerns.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that healing happens in a space where you feel genuinely heard and understood. I strive to create an environment that fosters resilience, builds confidence, and encourages growth at your own pace.

During the first session, my goal is to establish safety, connection, and understanding. I introduce ACT-based tools to help clients start noticing the early signs of difficult emotions and how they typically respond to them. Together, we practice simple, healthy coping strategies that you can begin applying right away as you develop more awareness and self-compassion.
