Kathee Foxan, LCSW

Kathee Foxan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has practiced therapy in Iowa for fourteen years, bringing extensive experience with mood and anxiety concerns as well as anger and personality disorder symptoms. She trained and works from a cognitive behavioral framework and integrates other evidence-informed methods to meet individual client needs.

Over the past thirteen years she has provided services in a community mental health center, and for the last six years she has also worked directly with residents in nursing home settings. Her caseload has included clients across the lifespan, from children as young as three to adults in their nineties, reflecting a broad comfort with age-related issues and changing care needs.

Foxan frequently supports people facing compounded challenges, including poverty, substance use and addiction, histories of trauma, legal involvement, people of color, and those coping with loss of independence. She works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem and relationship issues, as well as grief, parenting, sleep difficulties, and career or life transitions.

Her clinical approach is client-centered and draws on modalities suited to trauma and emotion regulation, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness-based techniques, and trauma-focused interventions. This combination of long-term community mental health experience and work in geriatric settings guides her practice with individuals and families managing complex, intersecting problems.
