Does life sometimes feel overwhelming and stressful? Have you noticed when just one thing in life is out of balance it can spill over into other areas too? This imbalance affects our moods and behaviors, our relationships and interactions with others personally and professionally. This does not just affect adults, it's affecting our youth and our children. The good thing is there is hope and resolution you already have access to, but perhaps haven't been able to tap into.. just yet.

Ready to make meaningful changes in your life, but unsure where to start? Maybe you’ve already started making changes but want to dig deeper or reach higher. To move forward, sometimes we must confront issues from the past that are holding us back. Other times, we most benefit from guidance and support that teaches us to cope with present issues that are leaving us feeling lost, alone, stuck, or frustrated. My goal as a therapist is to bring light into those dark places by facilitating your journey to greater self-awareness, more effective communication, healthier relationships, and an overall more authentic and fulfilling life.

Life isn’t always a walk in the park. Especially when others are unable to relate to what you feel and experience. You want compassion. It's hard to be your true self around others for fear of judgment. Society wants you to fit into a nice little box and it makes it impossible to be who you are. You can be surrounded by family and loved ones who care about you and want the world for you, yet you feel so lonely and isolated. Sometimes it feels like no one understands you and never will. The pain may seem unbearable. You struggle with so many personal issues and just want someone who can relate to you with the experience to help.

I'm Katy Bridges and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). It is my passion to work with children, adolescents, and young adults. Emotional turmoil negatively impacts our daily lives. Often, young people struggle to perform, feel down on themselves, have behavior problems, or can't manage big emotions like fear and sadness. Anxiety, grief, conflict at home, social problems, and extracurricular commitments are other stressors children have to manage. This can lead to poor quality of life, behavior problems, distractions at school, etc. Growing up is HARD work! Young people are strong and can thrive with the right tools!

I have extensive training in Family Systems Theory, Experiential Therapy and as of June 2024, I am trained in Attachment Focused EMDR and working towards being fully certified. Family has always been very important to me and that’s why I love systems therapy. So many of our wounds are tied to a relationship (or a lack thereof) and at the same time, healing can only be found in relationships. Sometimes we are afforded an opportunity to heal a relationship and other times we have to find internal healing with the support of other relationships.

My hope for each person I work with is that you feel like you have someone you trust to talk to in the midst of life's crazy circumstances! Counseling is a space to openly talk to someone with an unbiased “birds-eye” perspective of what you are going through. I treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. You can expect that I will be an engaged listening ear for you to sort through and externalize everything that you may be experiencing day to day. My approach is to help people find meaning, purpose, and hope in the face of suffering or hardship, as well as equip them with the tools to live a healthy, fulfilled life.
