Getting to know Katie Garnand

Hi there, I'm Katie! Hello! I'm Katie Garnand, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s in Counseling and Human Development from Radford University and a Bachelor’s from Virginia Tech. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and some adults to navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, ADHD, impulsivity, and trauma. My approach I use a person-centered, trauma-informed approach, emphasizing a trusting therapeutic relationship. I believe meaningful change is built on trust and open communication. Through Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I empower clients to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. My focus While I typically work with children and adolescents, I also work with adults, especially caregivers. With a background in intensive community-based work, I understand the relationships and difficulties families face. My communication style I provide a safe, calm environment where clients feel heard and supported as we navigate life’s complexities and work toward their goals. My journey to mental healthcare I fell into community-based work almost by accident but quickly discovered helping others is where my heart lies. I am energized by positive change in my clients and help them set attainable goals to stay motivated. My goals for you I encourage clients to develop long- and short-term goals and assist in breaking them into manageable tasks to stay focused and motivated. My first session with you In the first session, clients learn about my background, may meet 1-3 of my animal coworkers (pets), and ask questions about therapy. I then ask questions to understand what led them to seek therapy and their overall goals.
