I'm a LPC with over 25 years in the field. I've helped people through a variety of issues. Whatever is motivating you to seek counseling, I’m here to help. Throughout my career I have seen how helpful & freeing it can be to have a safe & non-judgmental space to explore what you value. I bring warmth, compassion, humor, and insight into my work, and I try to help folks learn something new about themselves every session. This can mean the difference between just living and prospering as a person.

Katie Collins

Katie Collins

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 21 mi away • Ann Arbor, MI


**Accepting teen/adult female clients only at this time.**

I’m a licensed therapist and founder of a private practice built around helping people create meaningful, lasting change, not just short-term relief. My background includes working with teen and adult women navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and deeply ingrained behavioral and emotional patterns.

My work is rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), with a strong emphasis on understanding the biology and evolution of the human brain. I help clients make sense of how their nervous system, thoughts, and emotional responses were shaped—and how those patterns show up in daily life as habits that may no longer serve them.

I also integrate radical responsibility and mindful self-compassion into my work. That means we don’t stay stuck in blame or avoidance, but we also don’t approach change through shame. Instead, we build awareness, ownership, and the capacity to respond to yourself and your life differently.

While I’m direct and engaged in the work, I’m also laid back and less formal in my style. I believe therapy can be both meaningful and productive and have moments of lightness, humor, and real human connection along the way.

I work best with clients who are ready to look inward, challenge themselves, and actively participate in the process of change.

I approach therapy with respect, curiosity, and a bit of humor. I offer trauma-informed care which has led me to work with people who have gone through hard times and survived. I earned my master’s degree from Michigan State University and have stayed in the East Lansing area since then, working in local residential treatment facilities for teens and in an outpatient intensive treatment program with adults. I have spent the last 15 years working with adults in crisis, whether that is temporary situations like relationship issues or more chronic conditions.

A former client called me "endlessly chill." I am known to wear more sweatshirts than more "professional" attire. I don't want to give off any energy that I am better than anyone who sits across from me. I am known to swear in sessions (but I do filter this per client).
