Katie Holman

LPC

Growing up with childhood struggles with very little support for mental health, I became interested in helping and healing professions early on. While finishing my master's in counseling at Missouri State University, I served as a career counselor and academic advisor through a graduate assistantship. I loved working with students and went on to spend 13 years in the school setting, working with teens and families. While working in schools, I saw a huge need for treating mental health and started working on my license in professional counseling, gaining experience counseling children in foster care and people recovering from addiction. Over time, through experience and specialized training, my focus became faith-based mental health therapy for women, parents, and teens experiencing anxiety and depression. Now, as a mom of four with two of my own children adopted from foster care, I especially enjoy helping other parents and those hoping to soon become parents.

Through whatever struggles you are facing, my goal is to help you cope with challenges, gain clarity, improve your relationships, find joy, and, overall, feel better. My approach is client-led, meeting you where you are and personalizing your therapy based on your needs after getting to know you and building trust. I use a style that’s calm, kind, genuine, and engaging. I use a faith-based approach in therapy. My faith as a Christian has helped me get through many of my own life struggles and challenges. Faith is an important part of who people are and I have found it to be helpful to incorporate it into therapy. How faith is addressed in therapy and how often it’s incorporated into sessions depends on the client, where they are in their own faith journey, and their needs. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking about their faith and their beliefs as they work toward being the best version of themselves that God created them to be.
