Getting to know Katie Espinoza

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) with 5 years’ experience, I specialize in gentle, insight-oriented, solution-focused therapy for adults, adolescents, and children who are navigating emotional regulation, problem solving, and coping skills. I am especially interested in child and adolescent development and family systems. No matter the struggle, I ensure compassionate and individualized care, which helps me be a thoughtful and attentive guide in each session. I look forward to building trust and exploring growth together as we work toward your goals.

What should a new client know about working with you?

DISCLAIMER: We are not able to accept Medicare or Medicaid plans at this time. My career as a therapist began while working in a school-based setting providing therapy to elementary-school-aged children. Being a part of their healing journeys deepened my commitment to offering accessible, person-centered care for anyone in need. I use this dedication now to bring a balance of patience and curiosity to each session while focusing on patients’ unique needs rather than societal expectations. This allows me to create a space where each person feels seen, heard, and respected in their growth.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Healing happens in connection, through safety, and by understanding one's own strengths. I am committed to providing the supportive and empowering environment that allows this healing to take place, using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to help you build self-awareness and practical coping skills. My style is collaborative, strengths-based, and grounded in these evidenced-based practices, as I’m passionate about fostering the resilience that allows you to build healthy, adaptive coping skills at your own pace.
