Hear from Dr. Katie Godfrey

I have a gift for connecting with people who feel like no one can connect with them, and helping them heal from past traumas and painful events into a new, vibrant chapter of life. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I am passionate about working with people in relationships who struggle with communication, connection, or conflict resolution.

I greatly appreciate working with LGBTQ+ clients. I am acutely aware of the various issues we face in terms of identity, safety, and living life in a heteronormative culture and the effect on the queer community. My clients value having an accepting space for them to explore their identity and relationships and to feel authentic. I work with teens and adults of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and self-expressions.

Working with trauma is something I have done my whole career. In order to provide high-quality trauma-informed work, I have specialized expertise in several areas including Attachment-Focused EMDR and in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.

In my 20+ years of experience, my clients often tell me they value how genuine I am, how I hold them accountable, and how they can share things with me they have not shared with anyone else. My style is a mix of warm, accepting understanding and accountability as I support you in your growth.
