Hi! I’m Katie, and I’m a licensed psychotherapist helping people create a life they love. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in publishing at Penguin Random House and previously ran a jewelry line carried in over 250 stores nationwide. After earning my master’s from the Crown Family School of Social Work, I completed my clinical training at UChicago Medicine and LifePath Therapy Associates. Today, I use a combination of CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy to support C-suite executives, entrepreneurs, young professionals, writers, and anyone navigating uncertainty to create meaningful change.

Carol Leiva

Carol Leiva

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


I focus on three areas I have come to know deeply, both clinically and personally: complex and generational trauma, adult children of narcissistic or emotionally immature parents, and prenatal/postpartum mental health. I can appreciate and understand the feeling of the rug being pulled out from under you and having to create a new identity after these experiences.

Together, we explore how inherited patterns shape identity, relationships, and self-worth.

Because I know how painful it can be to live with patterns you did not choose, I offer therapy that is both compassionate and practical, a space where you can feel understood, make sense of your experiences, and begin moving forward with more clarity, self-trust, and intention with you as the lead expert of your experience.

On a personal note, I am happily married and a new mom. I am a lifelong learner and am committed to personal and professional growth through ongoing education, supervision, and therapy.

Christina Schultz

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Virginia


My personal journey was not one I would choose. My first husband was diagnosed with cancer in September 2004 and died in February 2006. The experience of spousal caregiving and young widowhood, and 10 years as a federal Special Agent eventually led me to change careers to become a counselor.

I love helping individuals and couples build meaning, self-acceptance, and self-worth despite grief, trauma, shame, and problematic behavior and relationship patterns.
