Meet Katrina
Experience & Counseling Philosophy
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and the owner of The Freed Mind Group, PLLC. I have a Master of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling as well as nearly 20 years of counseling experience. I dedicated the first nine years of my counseling career to school counseling. It was my pleasure to serve students, families, staff and members of the community in their pursuit of self understanding and happiness. I decided to leave education to dedicate even more time to aiding in the holistic growth of the people I serve.
The client/therapist relationship is of upmost importance to me. My clients know that I accept them unconditionally and positively which is crucial in their efforts to be open and honest with me no matter the issues they present in therapy. A relationship built in this manner maximizes transparency which leads to true healing and change.
Hurt minds need a safe place to be vulnerable enough to heal. You will find that my energetic, compassionate and non-judgmental personality will make our time together safe and rewarding. Together we will work toward you gaining a deeper understanding of yourself, your feelings, communication skills, coping skills and conflict resolution.
Let’s get personal
I am a proud wife and mother to six children including four bonus sons. I absolutely love being involved with my children and when I can, traveling has a strong grasp on my heart. I know deciding to go to therapy is not an easy decision. Very often, we don't understand how much we are affected by the things that happen to us & how heavy the load is we carry each & everyday. Yes, I said “WE” and "US" because I too have experienced the gravity of life's ups and downs. The health of our minds influences how we think, feel, and act in our own lives & in our relationships with others. Whether it is depression, anxiety, stress, grief, trauma or conflict, the mind's greatest desire is to be free from bondage; free to function unhindered. My goal is to help my clients discover freedom from the issues that have kept them bound and prevented them from living their best lives.
I do not think you are visiting this page by chance. You took a big step by coming to this page to seek help. I don’t take that step lightly and I hope you don’t either. As you search to find the best therapist to meet your needs, take your time to really get a feel for each therapist you speak to before selecting one. Keep in mind, it is important that clinicians only treat clients with presenting issues that are within the scope of their trained ability so make sure you ask as many questions as you need to.
As for me, I flourish in working with couples and individuals particularly those that have experienced childhood traumas and are struggling with interpersonal relationships including the relationship they have with themselves. To aid in the process, I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I love working with clients to help them explore their inner child, their attachment style as well as their personality type to aid in the their personal journey.
