Hi! My name is Katie Karimian, PsyD. I’m passionate about helping people using a strength-based approach to better their well-being. I have found my clinical interests to revolve around young adults and working with role transitions, interpersonal and romantic relationship stress, as well as academic distress. If you would like to work together, I look forward to getting to know you!

As a mental health practitioner, my approach to working with a client is from a holistic lens and the biopsychosocial model. When you walk into the room, my hope is to make you feel as comfortable as possible and give you an open space to share all of your thoughts, feelings, worries, and even accomplishments!
My goal is to help clients make small changes in their daily lives that eventually become big behavior changes after treatment is done. One step in front of the other and consistency will lead you to greatness!
I work from a humanistic approach while also infusing interpersonal psychotherapy, acceptance commitment therapy, emotionally focused therapy, and some cognitive behavioral therapy. That doesn’t mean that I won’t work with someone who needs a different approach. As a clinician, it is my duty to do the best work for my client.
