Katelyn Harrison-Speer, Graduate Student Therapist.
Trauma-Informed | Somatically Aware | Creatively Grounded
Welcome, I'm so glad you're here!
Whether you’re someone who needs support navigating big emotions, a couple working to reconnect, or a creative spirit exploring identity, therapy can be a powerful space for transformation, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you in that journey.
I’m a trauma-informed, somatically-aware, and collaborative therapist who shows up with warmth, curiosity, and genuine care.
My hope is that when you’re with me, you feel truly seen, heard, and supported—without judgment and at your own pace.
Who I Work With and What We Work On.
I work with people navigating a range of experiences—stress, trauma, relationship challenges, identity exploration, grief, and more. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are seeking a supportive space to explore, heal, and grow. I’m here for those who want therapy to feel collaborative, grounding, and real.

Examples of the Therapy Goals I Support.
In our work together, your goals are the heart of the process—and they can be as unique as you are. Whether you’re just starting therapy or returning after time away, I’m here to support you with care, flexibility, and a focus on what matters most to you.
Some of the therapy goals I commonly support include:
Strengthening relationships and improving communication
Building emotional awareness and regulation
Healing from trauma and developing inner safety
Exploring identity, values, and sense of self
Navigating religious or spiritual trauma or deconstruction with support
Processing life transitions or major changes with clarity
Cultivating self-compassion and reducing inner criticism
Developing boundaries that honor your needs and relationships
We’ll approach your goals collaboratively—at your pace, and with tools and insights tailored to who you are. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither are the changes you’re seeking.
What you can expect in session.
Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and thoughtful. I bring my full, authentic self to the room so you feel safe to do the same. I’m not afraid to gently challenge you—with care—when it serves your healing. My trauma-informed lens means that emotional safety, consent, and pacing are always prioritized. My goal is to co-create a space that feels both comforting and transformative.
Session Fee & Sliding Scale
My standard fee is $75 per 50-minute session, whether you're coming in as an individual, couple, or family. As a Graduate Student Intern, I’m committed to making therapy accessible—and I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots based on financial need.
If the full fee feels out of reach, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the office to inquire about sliding scale eligibility. You deserve support, and we’ll do our best to help make that possible.
Learn More About Katelyn!
The Person. I’m a lover of many things—music, crafts, books, people, dance, yoga and plants all bring me joy and inspiration. My eclectic taste in music spans genres like soul, indie, hip-hop, jazz, pop, and classical, a reflection of both my upbringing in a dance studio and my life shared with a musician. Creativity plays a big role in my life; I’ve always found comfort in crafting—crocheting is my go-to, but I’ve also explored everything from embroidery and painting to candle making. I’m an avid reader with a soft spot for memoirs and romantasy books. Born and raised in the Midwest, I carry a deep appreciation for connection and community. Time with loved ones is essential to my self-care, whether that’s through travel, laughter, or simply being together. And while I may not be in the dance and yoga studio every day, my love for movement continues to live on in classes I attend, the ones I occasionally teach, and the moments I find myself dancing around my home.
The Clinician. I’m a trauma-informed, collaborative therapist who brings warmth, authenticity, and curiosity into the therapy space. As a clinician, my priority is to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. I show up as my authentic self so that you feel safe to do the same—without judgment and with openness, curiosity, and compassion. I’m here to hold space for whatever you bring into the room, whether that’s processing past or present pain, celebrating life’s joys, or exploring healing through creative approaches like art or play therapy. I am deeply invested in your growth and your goals, and I take that responsibility seriously. My commitment to this work includes continually expanding my knowledge through ongoing education, exploring various therapeutic modalities, collaborating with other professionals, and helping you connect with additional resources that may support your journey. You're not in this alone—I'm here to walk alongside you.
My Training: I am a Graduate Student Therapist with Friends University in their Marriage and Family Therapy program. While the title focuses on marriage and family, I believe a more accurate reflection of the work we’re trained to do is "systemic" or "relational" therapy. This approach emphasizes the idea that our mental and emotional health is deeply influenced by the systems we are part of—our families of origin, communities, relationships, cultures, and even broader factors like the economy and social environment. I also bring a body-centered lens to my work through my training as a Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher. While we won’t be practicing yoga postures in session, this background influences my therapeutic style by integrating breathwork, mindfulness, and somatic awareness when appropriate. These tools help support regulation, deepen connection to self, and honor the body’s role in healing.
