Katie Lee MS, LMFT-Associate

Hi! My name is Katie Lee, and I am a LMFT-Associate with an M.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy, supervised by Erica Carpenter, LMFT-Supervisor. I work with children, couples, and families, providing support for relational issues, behavioral issues, family stress management, and life transitions. I recognize that no single family or child is alike, and I desire for all to feel nurtured and respected with the ultimate goal of sessions to foster connection, resilience, and healing. I integrate play and movement into all my work with children.

My work with children and families began after I graduated in 2004 from Kenyon College in Ohio with a B.A. in Psychology. After graduation, I began teaching at a Montessori school in Oakland, California. I obtained my Montessori Early Childhood Education certification from St. Mary’s College of California in 2007 and taught for 17 years in California, Kentucky, and Texas. After countless parent-teacher conferences, I realized parents and families were often surviving instead of thriving. I wanted them to thrive! I decided to return to school to become a family therapist to honor myself and my own parenting journey and the struggles of all those families who desperately needed support and caring over the years.

I completed my M.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy at Texas Woman’s University in 2023 and have received additional training in trauma-informed care, working with diverse and marginalized populations, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Simplicity Parenting, Polyvagal Theory, Child-Centered Play Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP).

When I am not busy being a mom of two or seeing clients, I enjoy cooking, traveling, outdoor adventures, yoga, reading, taking care of my chickens, and having dance parties with my eleven-year-old and eight-year-old.
