Katie Phillips, MSW, CSW

Hi there! I'm Katie, a Certified Social Worker who graduated in May 2026 with my Master of Social Work and School Social Work certificate from the University of Kentucky. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of supporting individuals across all stages of life, though my heart holds a special spot for kids, teens, and athletes. Having spent most of my life working with youth and serving as a researcher with the Sports Social Work Research Lab, I love helping young people and athletes navigate performance, identity, and life's everyday changes. As a military spouse, mom, big-time dog lover, and fan of both sports and reality TV, I bring plenty of real-life perspective, adaptability, and fun to the work I do! When it comes to therapy, my approach is grounded, person-centered, and focused on meeting you right where you're at.

I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside trauma-informed care, but above all, I believe this is your journey. I'm just here as your guide along for the ride. I deeply value authenticity, vulnerability, and creating a comfortable, welcoming space where you can be fully yourself. Everyone has their own unique walk in life, and I would be truly honored to walk beside you whenever you're ready to start healing.
