KATIE CHENAULT
AMFT #140269
My name is Katie Chenault, and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist #140269. I have a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy with an additional emphasis on Professional Clinical Counseling. I have been in the mental health field for a little over 2 and a half years. I have experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, parents, and families. I utilize an integrative approach to individual counseling that best fits the client I am working with by using CBT, attachment theory, family systems, some DBT, person-centered, some Solution-focused Focused Therapy, play therapy, mindfulness, and art therapy. I have found that meeting the client where they are at has been a beneficial tool in building rapport with clients as well as making the therapeutic space as comfortable and approachable especially when getting started. I like to approach my clients with openness, authenticity, and humor. I have had experience working with a diverse network of clients in my work at the school-based level and in an outpatient setting. I have extensive experience working with clients through depression, social and general anxiety, anger management, grief, low self-esteem, low motivation, transitions in life, trauma, parenting skills, and ADHD. I am excited to work with you!
A little about me is I enjoy a good dad joke and random humor, reading a good book, camping, softball, going to the beach, and spending time with family and my two crazy and loving doggos.
