Hi!
My name is Katie Thornton and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Texas, Nevada, Maine, and Wyoming. I am trained in EMDR therapy possess 7+ years of experience working with various backgrounds from outpatient and residential settings to working with children, adolescents, adults, veterans, and families through a variety of different challenges.
I'm happy you are here. I work with women and new parents who are struggling with the transition to pregnancy or parenting, and want to feel more enjoyment and confidence in their new identity and relationships. You've made it this far, which means that you want things to feel different. By working together, we can find ways to better balance your life.
I have been a licensed mental health therapist for over 11 years, and have experienced nearly any challenge one faces when starting therapy. I have a strong passion for my work and I want each person that works with me to feel unconditional care, respect, acceptance, and warmth, while also challenged in a positive way! If you are motivated and have a desire to make improvements, I can help you with any issues bring you into therapy. Taking the first step can feel incredibly difficult, overwhelming, and scary, but is also the beginning of change and growth.
Life does not slow down when we need it to. You may feel scattered, unworthy or uncertain. You have lost something or someone—or you live in fear of it happening. Pressure is building and coming at you from all directions, even yourself, and you can’t manage it all. Whatever challenge or chapter in life you are facing, you do not have to tackle it alone. This is your time to choose to slow down, to pause for yourself and what matters most to you. I can help you do that.
Life can feel HARD. I care deeply about coming alongside you to help build compassion and insight. I have years of experience working with diverse clients of all ages and different walks of life. I have worked in both private practice with adults and community mental health while working with parents, caregivers, and kids in outpatient therapy at Nationwide Children's Hospital. I come alongside individuals in various stages of life to help them gain insight into their struggles and strengths, identify their goals and learn practical tools to help make meaningful change in their lives. I value diversity and approach therapy with respect and compassion. I gained my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Ashland Theological Seminary, after working with young adults in international campus ministry at OSU for 10 years. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Behavior Management, Narrative Therapy, and am informed in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Internal Family Systems.
I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Kent State University. I work with clients from young adults to older individuals, who are navigating a range of challenges such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, trauma, and LGBTQ+ concerns. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, or life transitions, I’m here to support you in a way that honors your unique journey and values.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Toledo
Finding a postpartum therapist in Toledo starts with identifying the type of support you need. Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety are among the most common perinatal mental health concerns, but providers in the Toledo area also work with birth-related trauma, adjustment to parenthood, and relationship changes after having a baby. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LISW, LPCC, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who has specific experience with perinatal mental health care.
With providers practicing across Toledo, Maumee, Sylvania, and Perrysburg, narrowing your options can take time you may not have as a new parent. Consider what matters most: a provider who offers virtual sessions so you can attend from home, someone who uses a specific approach like CBT or EMDR, or a provider whose schedule aligns with yours. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their background and decide if they're a good match before booking.
Therapy in Toledo can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
