Katie Harkin, MSW

Specialties: Anxiety, Depression, Disordered Eating & Eating disorders, Trauma, Life Transitions

Kate believes in the power of a strong therapeutic alliance. Feeling safe, heard, and respected is important in therapy. She uses compassion, empathy, and a little humor to create a warm and healing environment to work together to accomplish your goals. 

Everyone has strengths and Kate’s goal is to work collaboratively with you to identify your strengths which can be used to develop new insights and ways of coping. She believes that all behaviors serve a valid purpose, and hopes to support her clients in identifying which behaviors do, and do not, serve them. 

Kate has experience providing therapy at all levels of care for eating, mood, and trauma disorders. While she uses a variety of evidence based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, and Mindfulness, she also recognizes therapy isn’t one size fits all and brings an eclectic approach to her work. She is Health at Every Size (HAES) aligned and would be happy to support you in exploring and healing your relationship with food and your body. 

Kate would be honored to support you in navigating life’s challenges and join you on your journey towards healing.
