Meet Katie Maroney, MHC-LP
Welcome! I am passionate about supporting individuals as they navigate trauma, generalized and/or social anxiety, depression, and sustained recovery from addiction. I also support clients working through relationship challenges, identity exploration, grief, religious trauma, people-pleasing, and existential questions. Together, we can explore patterns, build self-understanding, and create meaningful change.
I am deeply committed to inclusive, socially conscious care, with an emphasis on understanding how systemic and structural factors shape mental health and overall well-being.
My Approach to Therapy
I believe our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and physical reactions all make sense in the context of what we've been through. Together, we'll explore the patterns that are keeping you stuck, process the emotions beneath them, and help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that have always been capable of healing.
Am I the right therapist for you?
-
You are curious about understanding yourself more deeply and exploring the connection between your mind, body, emotions, and experiences. You enjoy gaining insight into your patterns and sometimes even nerding out on the theories behind why we think, feel, and respond the way we do.
-
I may not be the best fit for clients looking for a space to only vent without feedback, reflection, or exploration. While therapy is a place to feel heard and understood, I believe meaningful change comes from looking inward, exploring our patterns, and developing new ways of responding.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in conservation, including as a park ranger in Hawaii and as part of a native plant crew in Glacier National Park. Outside of the therapy room, I’m an avid reader, tea lover, and enjoy live music whenever I can. I’ve always been drawn to the process of healing, whether that means restoring the environment or supporting people as they navigate their own healing journeys. I believe life can be both beautiful and exciting, while also messy, awkward, and unpredictable. We’re all just trying to figure things out on this little floating rock, and I think laughter, connection, and dancing can help along the way.
Specialties
-
Trauma
I use a trauma-informed, bottom-up approach that incorporates mindfulness and somatic techniques to help you reconnect with your body, process emotions, and understand how past experiences shape the present. Together, we can move from shame toward self-compassion and healing.
-
Anxiety
I use mindfulness and parts work to help you better understand your anxiety, build tolerance for uncertainty, and develop new ways of responding to anxious thoughts and feelings.
-
Addiction
I work with individuals in sustained recovery who are looking to better understand addiction, process shame, and develop healthier coping skills. I also support loved ones impacted by addiction. For those experiencing active addiction, a higher level of care may be a more supportive option than weekly therapy alone.
