We are accepting new clients. My name is Katie Brotten and I am a generalist social worker trained in client-centered, strengths-based methods of counseling. I lean on solution-focused interventions to support client goals, highlighting client strengths, and encouraging them to work toward increased efficacy.

Something profound happens when your most authentic self is met with unconditional acceptance and validation. I believe Brene Brown says it best, 'Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.' To bravely give ourselves permission to show up when we're depressed, overwhelmed, hungover, irritable, enraged, lost or simply disappointed. Or when we feel we are 'too much' for some and 'not enough' for others. It can be deeply meaningful to have a space where you can fill it with all of who you are, without apology or shame, and feel truly seen and accepted.

Healing starts when empathy is offered first to your own journey and then to the world around you. It would be my privilege to support you throughout your journey towards healing, uncovering a deeper comprehension of yourself, and the world around you. As a therapist I work alongside each of my clients by examining your lived experience and perspective to better understand how you comprehend and move through reality. It is through exploring our lived experiences and perceptions that we can become more aware how we operate, respond, and live in this world and can facilitate healing for ourselves and in our relationships.

I help people who are stuck figure out what is going on, understand it, and then move boldly forward towards a more fulfilling life experience. I specialize in working with clients who experience anxiety, depression and ADHD issues across the lifespan. We have all struggled. It's learning how to move through these challenges WELL that is the focus of my work. I also have advanced training in LENS Neurofeedback which is available at both of our Novo Life locations.

Hello, we are accepting new patients! Whether you're feeling down or anxious, struggling with hurtful and dysfunctional familial dynamics, having difficulty achieving a healthy work-life balance and/or enduring or wanting to heal from past or current traumas, you have found an ally. Developmental, relational and attachment trauma disconnects us from ourselves, our loved ones and even our spirituality. These types of traumas can leave us feeling isolated, unfulfilled and despondent. We all deserve to feel at peace - and that begins by learning how to heal.

I provide therapy to individuals, couples, and families struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship stress, and more. I work with children 6-12 years old, with a parent/primary care-giver. I am passionate about working with those navigating the mental load of motherhood, IVF/fertility issues, multicultural identity, and internalized oppression. I enjoy working systemically with families, to help gain a better understanding of how their "operating system" may contribute to the presenting issue and ways to shift it. I incorporate body awareness techniques with all my clients to improve the mind body connection.

You might be feeling disconnected, exhausted, holding it together and want to live more authentically. I’m a therapist for children, families and women who struggle with Anxiety, Life Transitions or the impacts of trauma, Autism or ADHD. I'll help you recognize limiting beliefs to shift your mindset. I've gone through painful stuff and you won't feel judged by me. Together, we will process feelings, identify your strengths, needs &obstacles. My hope is that therapy can help you bring awareness, compassion, embrace who you are, give you space to focus on growth, engage in deep healing or a maintenance plan to reach your goals.

My approach to awakening is really quite simple: We engage in honest and direct dialogue about relationships, work, and your-self. During sessions you recognize core beliefs, thoughts, and feelings that create unsatisfying and difficult situations. In time you overcome anxiety, depression, and addictions that hinder a meaningful life. Additionally, you let go of long held resentments and regrets about your self, others, and the world. You become emotionally and mentally stable and discover practical solutions to everyday problems. With greater awareness, your energy is used for creativity. You are guided into a bright future!

If you are feeling anxious, or struggling to know and express how you feel, therapy is a great place to start. It can be hard to trust yourself, and believe you are worthy. You may feel guilty speaking up for yourself or taking time for self care. It can be hard to feel better on your own. Your challenges can't be solved by doing the same things you've always done. I believe everyone is their own best healer, but it can be hard without support. I can help you discover why you feel the way you do, help you believe you are worth committing to change, and find practical ways to feel better and move forward in your life.

Do you feel alone? Are you experiencing anxiety and worry, or are you showing signs of trauma-related symptoms? I would love to help you. If you are having reoccurring negative thoughts and memories replaying in your mind, there is support. Here, you can feel understood by processing your concerns, which can lead toward a path of hope. Empathy is the center of facilitating an environment where you can share your struggles and feel comfortable so you do not experience and process unbearable, repetitive pain from isolation.

You’ll find that my sessions are genuine, open, exploratory, and meaningful. I value collaboration, meaning we will work together to process what’s happening for you and work together to make things better. I will provide an empathetic ear, ask questions, and provide reflection so that I can really understand your goals, life experiences, beliefs, and your values. My goal is to support you in creating a healthy relationship with yourself and healthy, secure dynamic relationships with others. My hope is that the work we do will aid you in translating your newly developed strategies in a positively adaptive way in your life.

What do you do when you find yourself struggling with problems? Do you let those issues, such as, relationships, weight, substance abuse, behaviors, emotions, thoughts, energy or finance victimize you? If this problem doesn't make you feel happy and yet there is a part of you that fears overcoming the problem, I believe there might be some healing work we can do together. I can help you access your subconscious mind and help you achieve this goal of conscious freedom.
