Getting to know Katie Thomson
Hi, my name is Katie Thomson, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in both California and Pennsylvania. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California and have been a social worker for the past ten years, becoming licensed in 2021. Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including ICU medical social worker, HUD-VASH care manager, and HIV outreach specialist, among others. These experiences have shaped me into the therapist I am today.
I strive to create a safe and warm space where clients feel comfortable working on whatever they choose to bring into their sessions. My communication style begins with building rapport by being a listener who is empathic, nonjudgmental, and compassionate. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is essential for clients to open up and feel safe as they process their experiences.
I have a history of working with adults, focusing on depression, anxiety and panic attacks, work/life stress, adoption, and life transitions such as divorce and entering the workforce.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
