KATIE LIN, AMFT
THERAPIST | AMFT #142072
Hi! I’m Katie.
Throughout my life I have strived to impact positive change within diverse communities by increasing equitable access to mental health resources and support. It has been a lifelong ambition of mine to help individuals develop emotional resilience in the face of adversity and explore their experiences in a safe space. With a passion for psychology and an innate curiosity towards the human experience, I went on to receive my Bachelor’s in Psychology, with a minor in LGBTQ Studies, from UCLA, and my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. I have also received trainings in Gottman Couples Therapy (Levels 1 and 2), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Mindful Self-Compassion, Child Therapy Approaches (including sand tray and play therapy), Diversity Equity and Inclusion in the Workplace, and Multicultural Counseling.
Grounded in compassion and empathy, my work weaves together the body and mind so you can build a greater awareness around the cognitive, emotional, and physical patterns which may no longer serve you. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Attachment Theory, Family Systems Theory, and Emotion Regulation into my practice, all of which help to foster a holistic approach to therapy.
As your therapist, you will find that I continually strive to incorporate and share the latest scientific findings around stress, neuroscience, and the body, so that you will leave each session more equipped to navigate life’s struggles. I specialize in women’s issues, LGBTQIA+ issues, child/adolescent/teen issues, relationship issues, and life transitions, but work with clients of diverse backgrounds and ages. It is my hope that I can support you on your unique path, so that you can begin to show up in your life and relationships in fulfilling ways.
“You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.”
