My therapy style blends the use of a compassionate and non-judgmental approach. I see clients who have a history of trauma, substance use, anxiety, depression, grief, codependency, and perfectionism issues. I help clients achieve freedom from limiting beliefs, compulsions, and emotional distress. I create a sacred and safe space for you to share your story with me and to be vulnerable in your therapy. You deserve to learn the skills to manage symptoms of emotional distress and build a peaceful and rewarding life.

My clients often come to me facing challenges navigating life and trying to manage things like anxiety, stress, substance use issues, and relationships. Maybe traditional methods of recovery haven't worked for you and you're feeling stuck. Or maybe you want to continue working from a traditional recovery lense & fine tune some of your skills. My clients come wanting to explore their substance use, identify what their ideal recovery looks like and how to get there. You can expect us working together in sessions to develop realistic and attainable goals; things that you would like to see change in your life. Let me help you get there!

I am accepting new clients! My name is Katie Musso, and I specialize in Trauma-Informed Care, intimate partner violence (IPV) and substance use issues. You and I will collaborate, show up authentically and walk together towards your goals, healing and growth! I believe the therapeutic alliance to be a great source of healing that honors where you have been, where you are, and where you are going. I'm anti-racist, and the LGBTQIA+ community is deeply important to me, personally and professionally, and is a large part of who I serve. I embody love, care, and inclusivity and can't wait to share it with you and learn together!

Please email to join the waitlist. Life can be meaningful even when painful events happen. I believe the path out of suffering is when we pass through our struggles, instead of running away from them. I am honored to be your secure emotional support through your personal and relational struggles. I hold a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy and work with a broad spectrum of challenges including depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance addiction. I help my clients improve their self-esteem, process grief, and heal from painful events. My clients often find strength, relief, acceptance, and growth from working with me.

A large part of why I have chosen to be a counselor is to simply help those in need. Many people come to therapy wanting relief from life’s challenges, answers to hard questions, or simply to be seen by and connected to another. My hope is that by choosing to engage in therapy, you will be able to experience all the goodness that comes from being respected, valued, and cared for in a truly meaningful way.

I work with clients within an attachment-based/relational framework, which posits that healing and transformation occurs through a safe, authentic, empathically attuned, and responsive therapeutic relationship. From this framework, I tend to integrate several different approaches to therapy. Common to each approach is an emphasis on increasing self-awareness and understanding of yourself, which includes your emotional and relational needs and how you go about trying to meet those needs in either helpful or unhelpful ways.

I am currently accepting new clients! I specialize in working with adults and teens who are seeking help with trauma, attachment wounds, relationship issues, anxiety, life transitions, grief, depression, and/or addiction. I also work with couples who may be experiencing challenges with communication, mutual understanding, connection, and strengthening their bond.

Hey there! I’m Megan- a couples therapist dedicated to helping you build a relationship you love coming home to. If you're feeling stuck, I have good news. Love is a skill that can be developed and I've got the tools and the expertise to guide you toward the relationship you've always dreamed of. If you fight about the same things over and over, feel lonely and disconnected, or have become more like roommates than lovers, I can help. I'll teach you how to improve your communication, navigate your differences, and deepen your connection.

There is power in our voices, and we deserve spaces where we can learn to feel safe expressing our pain, our hopes and our truth. I consider it my life's work to help create sacred spaces for those seeking ways to let go of the weight of their trauma and/or simply learn how to live life well and more authentically. Trust fostered in therapeutic relationships can open doors for increased self-awareness and self-love, inviting you to create healthier beliefs about yourself, your relationships, your life, your choices and your potential.

The goal of therapy is to create new possibilities where there has been stuckness and clarity where there has been fog. My approach to therapy is based on the belief that the pain and discontent we come to experience are rooted in old stories that are held deep within our bodies and minds, often outside our day-to-day awareness. Therapy provides a unique opportunity to listen deeply to these stories, sometimes through words, sometimes through felt experience, and respond intentionally to what they have to tell us. This work creates the opportunity to forge new paths and write new stories.
