Katie Van Drie LLMSW

Dedicated to fostering deeper connections and helping clients navigate the complexities of their relationships, I work with couples, children, adolescents, and families.  I am certified in Gottman Marriage Counseling Techniques, which allows me to provide couples with evidence-based strategies to strengthen their bonds.

With a background in neuroscience, I focus on understanding the interplay between our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, tailoring my approach to meet each client’s unique needs. I am particularly passionate about addressing racial identity issues, ensuring that every voice is acknowledged and valued in our sessions. 

As a fluent Spanish speaker, I strive to make therapy accessible to diverse communities. Additionally, I hold a certification in therapeutic horseback riding, which reflects my belief in the healing power of nature and animals. I find that incorporating these elements can offer clients unique pathways to growth and connection.

Whether you’re seeking support in your relationship, navigating adolescence, or looking to enhance family dynamics, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and understanding.
