Katy Downey, LMHC, ATR-P
I am licensed mental health counselor and an art therapist with five-years of professional work experience. I have passion and experience in helping clients with stress, LGBTQ+-related issues, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage for the first steps toward change and seeking a more fulfilling and happier life. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.
In my free time, you can find me working on art and spending time with my three cats (AKA children), Harvey, CC, and Fitz. I often volunteer for Casting for Recovery, a non-profit organization that support people with metastatic breast cancer. I am an avid supporter of the LGBTQ+ community.
What People Are Saying About Katy
“Kathryn is kind and compassionate. Speaking with her feels supportive and very nonjudgmental, like confiding in a friend (in the most professional way possible). I highly recommend her, especially if you need affirmation and support in areas of complex trauma, LGBT+ concerns, or if you just are feeling isolated and alone. I myself am training to be a therapist, and it’s great to speak with a pair whose methods I can really related to and respect. I hope that Kathryn and mental health professionals continue to be supported and valued.”

[Katy] has recently started working with my younger sister who is brand new to therapy. Thank you for creating such a warm, welcoming, and SAFE environment for her. She recently felt safe enough to disclose information that she has never shared before, and I truly believe [Katy] is to thank for that. I want to recognize [her] excellence in our field…I want to recognize [her] ability to show empathy and develop trust…”

“Katy is helpful, supportive, empathetic, and knowledgeable. I always feel better after speaking with her even though the external conditions driving my depression are mostly intractable. I’m grateful that she has been so willing to help me despite my soul-taxing negativity.”
